Everton FC are looking at Marseilles midfielder Morgan Amalfitano as a replacement for Ross Barkley, according to Goal.com



The 29-year-old spent last term on-loan at West Bromwich Albion and is said to be still seeking a move away from the Stade Velodrome.



Barkley picked up a ligament injury in training on Friday and the Blues are waiting to find out the extent of his injury.



Everton would have to pay around £2m for the Frenchman and he could offer a good short-term solution to their midfield problems.
