David Moyes keeps tabs on Diego Milito as Genoa are ‘priced out’

Reports in Portugal have claimed Everton are also tracking Sporting Lisbon’s Serbian goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic as an understudy for Tim Howard.

Moyes has drawn up a list of several players as he looks to replace departed defensive midfield linchpin Lee Carsley.

Turkey international Mehmet Topal, a 22-year-old from Galatasaray who made four appearances in Euro 2008, is the latest under consideration, although he would command a significant transfer fee after signing a new five-year deal in April.

Despite working hard to determine possible newcomers, Everton have yet to bolster their squad with a major signing this summer.

But skipper Phil Neville believes it is only a matter time before reinforcements arrive at Goodison.

“I think every club is waiting for one other club to make a move,” he said to evertonTV.

“I think you’ll see one big transfer and then all of a sudden everyone else will start buying players.

“I don’t think Everton fans should worry too much about us signing too many players because of the quality in the squad.”
