Everton eye £4million former Arsenal striker

Everton Football Club are plotting a move for Jose Antonio Reyes.

When the Spanish forward moved to Arsenal from Sevilla in 2004 in a deal worth around £10million, he was rated as one of the hottest prospects in European football.

However, despite a bright start to life in England Reyes soon started to falter and after spending the 2006/07 season at Real Madrid, he moved to Atletico the following summer.

The 25-year-old struggled at the Vicente Calderon and he spent last season on loan in Portugal with Benfica, but he is expected to move on again ahead of the new season.

Reports suggest David Moyes is willing to take a chance on Reyes if he can persuade the La Liga side to sell for £4million, which is roughly half of what they paid the Gunners.
