Ross Barkley is reportedly firmly on Antonio Conte’s radar as he would fit the bill at Chelsea.
The England ace is expected to leave Everton before the end of the transfer window.
The Express claim Barkley is the sort of player Chelsea are after and could make a stunning move to Stamford Bridge.
Conte only wants to bring in players with Premier League experience and his side look set to launch an offer for him.
Everton are ready to make a sensational cash bid for Chelsea rebel Diego Costa.
The Daily Star Sunday has been told that the Toffees are weighing up offering £30m – and could go higher than that.
Champions Chelsea value Costa, 28, at £50m.
Talks are expected to be held today, when the clubs play each other at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea face competition from Everton in their £40m move for Leicester striker Jamie Vardy.
According to The Mirror, Chelsea and Everton both believe they can land the England ace before deadline day.
Vardy earns £100,000-a-week at the King Power Stadium, but knows both clubs would be able to boost his salary.
It is said the Toffees are set to bid for Vardy as they look to beat Chelsea in the race for his signature.
