Everton will look to turn Conor Coady's loan deal into a permanent switch at the end of the season, according to reports.
St Helens-born Coady joined the Blues on a temporary deal in August after a tough pre-season under then-Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Bruno Lage that suggested he would receive limited game time at Molineux, even though he was the club captain.
The 29-year-old instead made the move to Goodison Park and has gone on to forge a solid defensive partnership with summer signing James Tarkowski. Calls to turn Coady's loan into a full-time switch were batted away by former Toffees boss Frank Lampard earlier in the season, but according to a new report, it appears that the England international has made a sufficient impression on new manager Sean Dyche already.
