Dwight McNeil could return to the Premier League this summer after Burnley’s relegation from the English topflight last season.
The winger has been one of the finest attackers in the Premier League over the years and Everton have targeted him for some time now.
Burnley has managed to keep hold of him until now, but their relegation from the top flight means the England under21 international is likely to leave.
Everton managed to survive relegation from the top flight last season and has lost Richarlison in this transfer window.
Frank Lampard is keen to strengthen his squad with new attackers and a move for McNeil is one of his priority.
Matchplug understands that Everton has entered talks with Burnley to sign the winger whose current deal expires in 2024.
The Toffees don’t have plenty money and they hope the Clarets will agree to allow him leave for an agreed fee that would be paid in instalments.
