A whole lot of players have been linked to David Moyes’ side over the last week. The Toffees are keeping a close eye on PSG’s Benin international midfielder Stephane Sessegnon who is actively looking to quit the Parisian club after the fans turned on him at the end of last season. Moyes has frequently sent scouts to watch him play in the French league.
Moyes is also hot on the chase of Blackpool captain Charlie Adam who led his side to a playoff win against Cardiff and secured promotion to the Premier League. Adam scored 16 goals from midfield for Blackpool and has seen his stature rise gradually during the same time period. Everton are also expected to make an offer for Newcastle defender Steven Taylor who enters the last year of his contract with the Magpies. They are also hoping to beat Newcastle to the signing of Leeds United captain Jermaine Beckford.
News from Portugal indicates that Everton have been offered the services of Argentine playmaker Pablo Aimar by Benfica. Everton are weighing up a move for the 30-year old former Valencia star. They are also hopeful of pricing away Oscar Cardozo from Benfica but might choose not to pursue it with vigour if they complete Beckford’s signing.
