Moyes eyes Smith swoop
Everton, 14:15, October 11, 2009 ,
Everton could be ready to make a January transfer move for Newcastle's Alan Smith as Bolton prepare to mount their own bid for him.
Manager David Moyes has been a long-time admirer of the former Leeds and Manchester United player for some time and his form this season for the Magpies has not gone unnoticed.
A fee in the region of £2 million could be enough to tempt the North-East club into selling the 28-year-old who operates in midfield these days after starting his career as an out and out forward.
Scouts from Everton and Bolton have been regular visitors to St. James Park and a bid seems inevitable when the transfer window reopens in the new year.
