Report: Moyes eyes Everton midfielder

|

Everton-v-Chelsea-Premier-LeagueDavid Moyes wants to bring Everton’s teenage midfielder Tom Davies to West Ham

According to Mirror Group reporter Neil Moxley he sees the player as one that he can add to the Hammers engine room believing that Sam Allardyce will listen to offers not only for him but several of his other players.

Former boss Ronald Koeman handed the England youth ­international his chance in the first team last season.

Since then, he has gained ­considerable  experience without entirely establishing himself and Moyes is hoping to trade on that – as well as handing Davies a hefty pay rise.

Davies only signed a new deal with the Toffees last year and is locked into the club until 2022 but Moyes is hopeful that Allardyce is ready to sell from a squad which is currently top heavy which may well seem him considering offloading others as he seeks his own targets

    More to the point Hugh, BFS wants to take Antonio the other way, having got wind of the rumours of him being fed up at West Ham!
    Davies is no doubt one for the future, so (unlike us seemingly -Oxford), they are unlikely to part with one of their hottest future prospects.
    Everton have little need to sell with new owners prepared to fund team development. Makes you wonder where we went wrong!

      If there is any truth to the rumour about Antonio, I would take Bolasie and Tom Davies in exchange even if we have to give a few quid also. I don’t think Allardyce will be allowed to sell Davies he is a quality young player, I would like to see the reaction of the already underwhelmed fan base to that 😂😂😂

    Rumours doing the rounds that Antonio’s bo11ock size has exceeded his skill/commitment level (the curse of the long contract?) and wants out. Don’t know how true it is but if it is I’d get rid.
    As for Davies, no thanks,

    If have Tom Davies but wouldn’t want to lose Antonio.
    I think Marko Lazvoric is worh a look still only 23 good Right sided player has pace can shoot & cross. Could get fomr cheap from a Liverpool or maybe loan to buy option.
    Has good workratw to & PL exp. Was great w Hull.
    Was great before Liverpool too Klopp just diesm use him but has plenty of RWs.
