Everton could make a move for Conor Gallagher

Everton have already agreed a deal for Thierno Barry, and are intent on strengthening other positions in the squad. A midfielder is certainly on their agenda, with links to Fred in some recent reports, as Gallagher could be seen as a better option in many aspects.
