Frank Lampard‘s men are on a nine-game streak without a win, with their latest defeat coming on Saturday against relegation rivals West Ham.
And in a bid to boost Everton’s chances of survival, under pressure boss Lampard is plotting a reunion with Ziyech, the Daily Mail reports.
Lampard signed Ziyech from Ajax while he was Chelsea boss.
Ziyech hasn’t hit the heights expected at Stamford Bridge and is playing a bit-part role under Graham Potter this season.
The Morocco star, 29, has played 15 times this season across all competitions, registering just one assist.
Everton would prefer a loan move for the tricky winger.
However, it is unclear whether Ziyech would trade Champions League knockout football for a relegation scrap.
Italian club Roma are also monitoring Ziyech.

Ziyech played a full 90 minutes on Saturday against Liverpool.
The draw has Potter’s men sat 10th in the Premier League table after 20 games played.
