Everton transfer latest as talks over midfielder set to test Sean Dyche plan
Plymouth Argyle are in talks with Everton over a move for Lewis Warrington.
The Championship side is seeking a loan move for the 20-year-old, who came on in the second half of his club’s pre-season friendly at Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday.
The starlet has been acquiring experience at increasingly high levels over the past 18 months - spending half a season in League Two with Tranmere Rovers and then all of the most recent campaign in League One at Fleetwood Town.
The departure of Tom Davies from the club has opened a spot in the first team squad for a central midfielder to emerge and Warrington has been under consideration for that role - starting the friendly against Stade Nyonnais in Switzerland earlier this month.

Whether Sean Dyche sees him as a viable option for the first team squad at this stage in his development will be tested by the interest of Plymouth.
Led by former Blues youth player Steven Schumacher, Plymouth have already turned to Everton to strengthen after the club’s impressive promotion from League One. Earlier this summer the south coast outfit secured centre back Lewis Gibson after his decision to leave the club he joined aged 17.
Schumacher now hopes Warrington, who was only allowed to leave on the final day of the summer transfer window last season as Frank Lampard considered whether he could play a role within the senior squad, will link back up with Gibson and strengthen the Pilgrims ahead of their Championship campaign.
