Chelsea are in talks with Everton over a loan solution for Armando Broja, Carney Chukwuemeka and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, according to a report.

The Blues are looking to trim down their squad in the final few days of the window and midfielders Chukwuemeka and Dewsbury-Hall are candidates to leave despite the assertion of Enzo Maresca that the latter will stay.

Everton, meanwhile, are desperate to add to their squad following the appointment of David Moyes. The Toffees are in a relegation battle and need all the help they can get.

FootballTransfers exclusively revealed on Friday that Club Brugge hotshot Christos Tzolis is one of the names under consideration. However, a potential issue for any January business is the fact that Everton have already used up all their loan spots.

As a result, the Toffees have now opened talks with Chelsea to find a potential solution to the problem because one of their loanees, Armando Broja, is expected to be sidelined for several months.

The Albanian joined the Liverpool outfit on loan from Chelsea in the summer but has suffered an ankle ligament injury that could keep him out for up to 12 weeks.

Everton are therefore interested in cutting his loan short, but Sky Sports reports that Chelsea would want some form of compensation to make up for it.

The report states that the situation could possibly resolved with a new loan for a different Blues player and this is where Chukwuemeka and Dewsbury-Hall come into the equation.

Discussions are taking place, although the chances of a positive outcome look slim. The same outlet has since reported that, as things stand, Broja is expected to stay and continue his recovery at Goodison Park, which means that Everton will not be able to add another loan player.
