The summer transfer window is officially open and Everton will be looking to get some business done in the next few weeks.
Frank Lampard has had a rather quiet summer in terms of new signings so far, with centre-back James Tarkowski the only new arrival as a free agent.
In terms of the other direction, Richarlison completed a £60million move to Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month, which could help fund some incoming deals.
Here, we take a look at some of the latest rumours doing the rounds online and on social media and how likely they are to happen.

According to the report, Lampard is keen on signing Gallagher this summer and bringing him to Goodison Park.
The report adds that Chelsea will leave it late in the summer transfer window before making a decision on Gallagher’s future, with another loan spell a possibility.
It has also been claimed that even though Lampard is a fan of Gallagher, who spent last season on loan at Crystal Palace, he will be willing to give opportunities to Everton’s younger stars.

The Northern Echo.
What?
According to the report, Everton are now exploring a permanent deal for Broja this summer.
Reports in recent months have linked the striker, who spent last season on loan at Southampton, is a loan target for the Blues.
It has been claimed that Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has held talks with Broja’s representatives over the striker’s future.
Now Everton, who had been reported previously as targeting a temporary deal for Broja, are now said to be interested in a permanent move for the striker.
