Moyes told reporters: ‘I’m comfortable with other people talking about Defoe. His stats show he’s the best British goalscorer this year, so I expect people to be paying attention, but I’ve had no phone calls from Bilic and there’s no need for us to talk or worry about it. He’s under contract for the next year-and-a-half and he stays here — it’s the biggest thing for us. He is vital. To stay up you need a striker who can get you goals regular, and we’ve got that.”
