There could be a potential situation bubbling up here that could have the rare outcome of perfectly suiting both teams, and all parties in fact.
Ross Barkley is very much a bit-part player for Chelsea this season rarely even getting off the bench.

Lucas Digne at Everton has reportedly got a strained relationship with his new boss this season, Rafa Benitez.
Everton are considering a move to bring back Barkley on loan in January, per a report from The Telegraph, and Chelsea are considering a move to bring Lucas Digne in on loan in January to replace the injured Ben Chilwell who now needs surgery and is likely to be out for the rest of the season, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
So really, Barkley going to Everton on loan and Digne going to Chelsea in the other direction, makes a lot of sense. Too much sense? We will have to wait and see what emerges!
It rarely pays for a player or manager to return plus Barkley has hardly had a good time since he left could or would we be able to forgive him ?
