Everton hold talks with “really good” £90k-a-week midfielder who Moyes loves
Everton are thought to have held talks with a “really good” player over a summer move to Merseyside, but they are far from alone in showing an interest.
Everton already lining up summer deals
David Moyes will know the importance of the Blues nailing their summer transfer business, as the Scot looks to transform them back into a mid-table Premier League team who look upwards at the European spots rather than over their shoulder. In fact, with a move to a new stadium coming and funds expected to be available, the club needs to have lofty ambitions moving forward.
Sunderland captain Dan Neil has been linked with a move to Everton ahead of next season, with the midfielder set to lead the Black Cats out at Wembley in the Championship playoff final against Sheffield United later this month. Failure to get promoted could only improve the Merseysiders’ chances of getting their man.

The Blues are also reportedly interested in signing Brighton striker Evan Ferguson, whose stock has dropped after a disappointing season. The Republic of Ireland ace has struggled out on loan at West Ham, but it may still be that Moyes believes he can turn his fortunes around.
Meanwhile, a John Stones reunion has been mooted at Everton, should the England international leave Manchester City at the end of the season, which could be a popular piece of business among the Blues fanbase.
Everton in talks with Tomas Soucek
According to The Boot Room’s Graeme Bailey, Everton remain “keen” on completing the signing of West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek this summer. It is claimed that “up to five Premier League clubs have held talks” with the Czech over a move, with the Blues deemed to be one of the teams in question.
