Everton rumour mill: Blues eye Neill swoop ; Toon ace targeted ; Spurs eye Arteta ; Man City's £12m Lescott bid

Everton eye Neill swoop

Everton have entered the race to sign out-of-contract West Ham full-back Lucas Neill, who rejected a new deal with the Hammers.

The 31-year-old ended his association with West Ham when he rejected a reduced-terms contract extension at Upton Park.

Neill is now free to talk to other clubs and Everton boss David Moyes is reportedly keen on the former Blackburn star.

However, Moyes faces a battle to sign the Australian ace as Neill's ex-Blackburn boss Mark Hughes at Manchester City is believed to be interested while Portsmouth are reported to be keen on securing his services.
