Everton are readying a bid for Manchester City defender Oleks Zinchenko.

Goal says Everton are preparing a bid for Zinchenko.

Frank Lampard wants to bring the Ukrainian to Goodison Park with a new role in mind.

The Toffees boss intends to field Zinchenko in central midfield - where he often plays for his country - rather than his more accustomed left-back position.

West Ham are also interested in the 25-year-old, but Everton hope that Vitalii Mykolenko - an international teammate mate of Zinchenko - can help swing a deal in their favour.
