Conor Gallagher, currently with Atletico, is the latest name linked with a potential switch to Everton. The midfielder could become a key signing should the move materialise, as the club seeks to strengthen in a key area of the pitch. While Man Utd, Crystal Palace and Newcastle have shown interest, Everton currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. Everton are only scoring 1.08 goals per game (14 in 13) this season, which suggests they need more creativity in the middle. Conor Gallagher would be seen as the link to raise the tempo and feed the attack. Atletico continue to be linked with Tim Lemperle, Marc Guehi and Mason Greenwood while Everton are also rumoured to be tracking Santiago Thomas Castro and Troy Parrott.
