Everton are making a shock bid to hijack Chelsea’s £40million move for striker Jamie Vardy.
Goodison boss Ronald Koeman believes that a proven striker would be the last piece of the jigsaw after a £150m spending splurge aimed at breaking into the top four.
Leicester forward Vardy turned down a
move last summer to Arsenal, but both Chelsea and Everton believe he is open to a new challenge.

Everton’s hand is strengthened with former Leicester talent spotter Steve Walsh, now director of football at Goodison Park.

Vardy, 30, signed a new deal last year, worth around £100,000 a week, but he knows that both Everton and Chelsea would increase his earning power and add to the Premier League title-winner’s medal he earned with the Foxes.
Koeman has spent the summer trying to fill the void left by striker Romelu Lukaku’s departure.
