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

Everton target Toon ace

Everton boss David Moyes is reportedly keen to bring Newcastle's Nigerian hotshot Obafemi Martins to Goodison Park.

Newcastle signed Martins for £10million from Italian giants Inter Milan in 2006 but the player looks set to depart St James' Park this summer as the Magpies face the reality of dropping into the Championship.

Eveton boss David Moyes is keen to add another striker to his squad after being priced out of a move for loan-star Jo, who joined the Goodison Park side from Manchester City in a loan move last season.

It would now seem Moyes has turned his attention to 24-year-old Martins after the player's agent confirmed there had been interest from three Premier League sides regarding his signature.

It is believed that Arsenal and Aston Villa are the other clubs involved in a three-way battle for the Nigerian international's services.
