Sean Dyche has remained tight-lipped about Everton’s interest in Che Adams.
A bid understood to be around £12 million for the Southampton striker was submitted from Goodison Park as Dyche looks to add firepower to his ranks.
The Championship club’s manager Russell Martin revealed on Friday that he would be ‘gutted’ to lose Adams if an offer matching their valuation was met.
But Dyche refused to be drawn on the Scotland international other than to insist the Blues are no closer to securing any of their current transfer targets.
He said: “There are lots of conversations ongoing with a number of different areas we hope to affect.
“No news at this stage about any of them.”
The Everton manager confirmed that Dominic Calvert-Lewin could find himself in contention for Sunday’s trip to Aston Villa after completing his rehab period.
Calvert-Lewin played in a behind-closed-doors game with Manchester United in midweek which has strengthened his case to be involved in the Midlands.
“On his side, he’s in good shape,” said Dyche.
“He managed to get the end part of his rehab done with 90 minutes and is in good shape and certainly comes into the subject of thinking.”
