Everton keen to tie up Vladimir Stojkovic deal

Everton are hoping to tie up a deal for Sporting Lisbon's Vladimir Stojkovic.

David Moyes is keen to sign another keeper, having released German Stefan Wessels at the end of last season.

The Serbia star only joined Sporting last summer, and has also been linked with Stoke and Birmingham.

But the Portuguese club are prepared to discuss the 24-year-old, who is out of favour with coach Paulo Bento. And reports in Portugal claim Everton have already made an offer, with Stojkovic all set to meet with his club's board.

Stojkovic admitted: "I will not rule out the possibility of going to England.

"To find out the truth it would be best to speak with my club."

The only setback for Moyes is that Stojkovic would not join the Toffees' squad until the end of August as he will be captaining his country at the Olympics.
