Everton boss David Moyes is ready to bid for Tottenham’s England striker Peter Crouch.
Moyes is set to move for the forward as West Ham prepare a deal for Goodison star Yakubu.
The Everton boss has been alerted to Crouch’s potential availability, as revealed by Mirror Sport last week, and has been making checks to find out if the move would be possible.
Crouch would cost around £7million, although his wages would worry the Goodison club. Liverpool are also being linked with offering Crouch a return-ticket.
West Ham have already had a £7m offer rejected for Yakubu and are expected to come back with more.
Everton midfielder Leon Osman is a target for Italian outfit Palermo.
The Serie A side view him as a player who can lift them into the big time by playing in a deep role off striker Fabrizio Miccoli.
