Boss continues duo chase
Everton, 08:58, August 13, 2008 ,
David Moyes is working as hard as he can to bring Vagner Love and Alan Smith into the club before the clash with Blackburn on Saturday.
Love's club CSKA Moscow have said there are 'no negotiations' surrounding a proposed £2.5million loan deal for the player but Moyes will continue to work hard.
As for former England striker Smith, late interest from Aston Villa is said to have caused a delay in his move from St James' Park where manager Kevin Keegan remains confident that he can keep his man in the North East.
Whatever the outcome of both deals Moyes will remain a busy man between now and the opening game against Blackburn on Saturday.
