Chelsea have been dealt a major blow after Ben Chilwell was ruled out for the season with a ligament injury.
The Blues also lost Reece James, meaning they have just one option remaining at wing-back in Marcos Alonso.
The club has been linked with a number of players but one of the most prominent rumours has been about Everton's Lucas Digne.
And now, the path has seemingly cleared for the move, with Everton announcing the signing of Ukrainian left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko.
Reports from talkSPORT have also suggested that the relationship between Digne and manager Rafa Benitez is 'beyond the point of no return'.
The Frenchman is Premier League proven and has operated as a wing-back during his career, making him an excellent potential replacement for Chilwell.
