The 20-year-old is currently on loan at Southampton and has impressed at St Mary's since arriving last August.

While Broja signed a new long-term deal at Chelsea before joining Southampton, his future at Stamford Bridge does not look certain.

Sky Sports reported last month that Southampton and some other unnamed clubs wanted to sign him permanently, while Fabrizio Romano claimed that the Saints were preparing to make a £25m bid.

"He likes it here, he enjoys it here. We have a young team here. These are all reasons why he's developed his game and why he's getting better. In the end, we have to find the right decision for the boy," Hasenhuttl said in a pre-match press conference last month.

It means Everton will have some serious competition if Lampard's plan is to bring Broja to Goodison Park.
