Everton are exploring the possibility of signing Southampton and Scotland forward Che Adams on loan, according to reports.
The Athletic report that Adams, 26, is a target for Frank Lampard as he looks to fill the strikerless void in the Blues squad. On Saturday evening, the Toffees' promising performance against Chelsea was cracked by the absences of Dominic Calvert-Lewin - who is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines following the injury he sustained last month - Salomon Rondon and Richarlison - who was sold to Spurs for £50m back in July.
Twenty-one-year-old Anthony Gordon was tasked with leading the line for Everton's first outing of the new season last weekend, which highlighted Lampard's need for reinforcements in the attacking third.
