      Frank Lampard’s men are on a nine-game streak without a win, with their latest defeat coming on Saturday against relegation rivals West Ham.
      And in a bid to boost Everton’s chances of survival, under pressure boss Lampard is plotting a reunion with Ziyech, the Daily Mail reports.
      Lampard signed Ziyech from Ajax while he was Chelsea boss.
      Ziyech hasn’t hit the heights expected at Stamford Bridge and is playing a bit-part role under Graham Potter this season.

      The Morocco star, 29, has played 15 times this season across all competitions, registering just one assist.
      Everton would prefer a loan move for the tricky winger.
      However, it is unclear whether Ziyech would trade Champions League knockout football for a relegation scrap.
      Italian club Roma are also in talks with Ziyech about a move to Serie A, as SunSport exclusively revealed.

      He also took his speed and skills to the Qatar World Cup in the latest part of his fairytale career.
      Now Toffees chiefs want Ndiaye to join their attack for the relegation fight and are putting together the funds to buy him.
      Ndiaye, 22, is central to the Blades’ bid to get back to the top flight but his contract is up after next season.
      Boss Paul Heckingbottom will be anxious as Ndiaye would be a huge loss and there are doubts about how much of the sale he would get to spend.

      Blades are now under a transfer embargo for failing to keep up with old payments, so a sale would go into sorting that out.
      Everton would be a large lure for Ndiaye with a Prem contract to offer to a player who was with Boreham Wood for three seasons.
      Owner Farhad Moshiri is reacting to fan fury over their recent struggles.
      Ndiaye would be a good addition if he can take his form to the top level with the Toffees.

      Everton are also closing in on a deal for Arnaut Danjuma, 25, at Villarreal.
      They are willing to pay the Spanish club a huge loan fee of £2.5m, which could double if the former Bournemouth star plays enough games.
      Danjuma will net £100,000 a week and a deal for the Dutchman could see Anthony Gordon being sold to Newcastle or even Tottenham.
      It’s unclear who will be at the Everton helm come the end of the month as manager Frank Lampard is under a huge amount of pressure.
      Defeat to West Ham on Saturday sent the Merseysiders to the bottom of the table and extended their torrid run to just one win in their last 12 league matches.

      Frank Lampard’s men have scored just 15 goals in 19 Prem outings this term, with only Wolves having netted fewer.
      This dismal return has seen them sink to 19th in the table, with Lampard’s job hanging by a thread.
      Despite their predicament, they have beaten off competition for Danjuma’s signature.
      The 25-year-old flew to England for talks with a number of teams this week.

      Nottingham Forest were keen on the Dutch international, as were former club Bournemouth.
      But Danjuma has opted to move to Merseyside.
      The loan transfer will contain no option or obligation to be made permanent at the end of the season.
      He will undergo medical tests this weekend ahead of completing the switch.

      Danjuma joined Villarreal from Bournemouth for around £22million in 2021.
      He has bagged 22 goals in 51 appearances for the Yellow Submarine, also getting a taste of Champions League football last term.
      Having started the season with an injury, however, he has been more out of favour this time around – starting just six LaLiga games.
      Newcastle are set to enquire regarding Anthony Gordon’s availability.
      Everton were determined to keep the 21-year-old last summer, fending off bids by Chelsea and Tottenham.
      But with the youngster having fallen out of favour of late, their stance may now have changed.
      The Toffees were demanding a fee in excess of £50m for Gordon when Chelsea and Spurs came calling.
      But he has started just one of Everton’s last six Premier League games.

      Frank Lampard set to be sacked by Everton if Premier League strugglers lose and put in poor performance at West Ham

      by

      FRANK LAMPARD fears today’s game against West Ham is “make or break” for his future as Everton boss.Sources inside the struggling Merseyside club say a defeat – and a poor performance at the London Stadium – is likely to see the ex-England and Chelsea legend axed.

      And morale among the players is thought to have been rocked by the lack of any signings made in January.
      Our source said: “The game against West Ham is make or break.
      “The two recent performances against Southampton, and particularly against Brighton, mean Lampard is on borrowed time. A third performance like that and it will most likely be curtains for him.
      “There’s a really low feeling around the club at the moment as it’s obvious they need reinforcements, but there’s hardly been any activity.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      “There is a feeling that perhaps the club is waiting to see if they will be bringing in a new manager before the end of January, and that’s why Lampard hasn’t been given the chance to freshen things up.
      “There is also the financial fair play situation but it’s a mess.”

      New West Ham striker Danny Ings is one player Lampard apparently wanted.
      But Everton were only able to offer the former Aston Villa striker a loan deal despite Ings being interested in a move due to the fact he was attracted by the idea of a move to the North West.
      Most read in Football
      One source said: “That summed it all up. Ings would have been tailor-made for Everton and apparently he was keen to join.
      “And even with the Liverpool connection fans would have welcomed him with open arms. He would have got goals that could have helped the club move up the table.
      “Now he’s going to be lining up for a relegation rival.”
      We told last week how Everton are bracing themselves for the exit of Dominic Calvert-Lewin at the end of the season.
      The England hitman is wanted by Newcastle United – who may even have moved in for him in January if it wasn’t for the player’s injury problems.
      A source said: “Calvert-Lewin is at right at the top of the list of targets Newcastle have. They were interested in him last summer, and that interest remains.
      “They think he could be a striker that could help take them to the next level both in the league, and in Europe.
      “The only reason they didn’t move in January is because Dominic is struggling with injuries.
      “Due to where Newcastle are in their season, riding high in the league and in a league cup semi final, they need additions who can hit the ground running.”

      The Sun understands Frank Lampard has told Everton’s board he needs to keep his trio of top stars – Jordan Pickford, Anthony Gordon and Calvert-Lewin – if they are to have any hope of surviving against relegation.
      But all three will leave if Everton do go down. More

      Dembele, 26, has only managed two goals in the Ligue 1 this season so far and has not been able to live up to his previous heights.
      The former Celtic man – who has long been linked with Manchester United – is available for a cut-price free with his contract set to expire in the summer.

      Meanwhile, Aston Villa are in talks to sell Danny Ings to West Ham for around £15million.
      Unai Emery’s side did secure the signing of Colombian teen Jhon Duran this week.

      Lyon are said to be open to allowing Dembele to move away from the club in a transfer.
      The 26-year-old had a loan spell with Atletico Madrid in 2021, but failed to impress, making only seven appearances and failing to score.
      Former Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette is currently the starting forward for Lyon, taking Dembele’s place, and has impressed on his return to the French outfit with 11 goals in 19 league appearances this season. More

      There is interest in Jordan Pickford and Anthony Gordon alongside Calvert-Lewin during this window.
      All three are expected to quit the club if they were to be relegated to the Championship.
      That moved a step closer on Saturday after a shocking 2-1 defeat at home to Southampton. More

      Moyes’ troops will welcome fellow strugglers Everton to the London Stadium on Saturday in a good old-fashioned relegation six-pointer.
      Defeat could bring about the end of his second reign as Hammers chief, although, ironically, it may pave the way for him to return to Goodison Park.
      That’s according to The Telegraph, who claim the West Ham brass are already weighing up potential replacements for the former Manchester United manager.
      Victory over the Hammers would ease the mounting pressure on Toffees’ boss Frank Lampard.

      Although it could prove to be a double-edged sword as the availability of club legend Moyes could tempt the Everton hierarchy to give him the boot.
      It’s been claimed the potential axing of Moyes would make Lampard’s position as Toffees boss “vulnerable.”
      Lampard is indeed in a “vulnerable” position following a run of just one win in the club’s last 11 Premier League matches.
      But he was recently given a public vote of confidence by Toffees owner Farhad Moshiri.

      The British-Iranian businessman said: “I have faith in the work being done not only by our manager, but our director of football [Kevin Thelwell] and our board of directors.
      “That faith is based on my knowledge of the depth and quality of work being done both at Finch Farm [Everton’s training complex] and the Royal Liver Building [Everton’s administrative HQ) – and of the plan that is in place.
      “I am confident that we have skilled, experienced and focused professionals at all levels of the club.
      “We are all agreed that our current league position must and will improve.”
      He added: “In almost seven years since my arrival at the club, I have significantly increased my investment and our new stadium has become reality.
      “We regularly review our performance and initiate change where we feel that the club falls short of standard.
      “This has meant that we have seen turnover in managers, directors of football and several board members, but always as we have striven to achieve success.
