Everton have asked about Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi but he is unlikely to leave if Tottenham sign Fernando Llorente

Belgium international Batshuayi has struggled for minutes since his £33million arrival from Marseille and Antonio Conte has targeted a new striker recently, with Llorente high on his list.

However, Tottenham have seen a shock bid accepted for the Spanish striker, with the offer understood to be higher than Chelsea have previously been willing to go for Llorente.

Meanwhile, Everton have also enquired about Arsenal's Lucas Perez, who they tried to sign from Deportivo last year. 


Rafa Benitez's Newcastle remain in the frame too for the Spaniard, who endured a frustrating debut season in north London. 

He started only four matches after Christmas last season and did not start a game after Arsenal's FA Cup win at Sutton in February.

However, Sportsmail understands that Perez is edging closer to a return to Deportivo on loan, with discussions ongoing between the two clubs.
