Marcelo Bielsa has held talks with Everton chief Farhad Moshiri already about succeeding Frank Lampard and wants to know their January transfer strategy - with the ex-Leeds boss the club's No 1 choice

Marcelo Bielsa is Everton’s top choice to save them from relegation after Frank Lampard was finally sacked as manager.

Lampard was relieved of his duties at 3pm on Monday after 357 days in charge. He leaves Everton 19th in the Premier League having made their worst ever start to a season, with 15 points from 20 league games.

Bielsa, who left Leeds last season having worked wonders to re-establish them as a Premier League club, has held talks with Everton’s owner Farhad Moshiri and wants to know about their transfer strategy a week before the window closes.
