Moyes desperate to land new goalscorer

DAVID MOYES has promised worried Everton fans he is working hard to plug gaping holes in his squad left by the departure of Marcus Bent and the ongoing saga over striker Duncan Ferguson’s availability.

Bent has joined Charlton for £2 million (€2.9m), rising to £2.5m (€3.6m) on appearances, while Ferguson - the subject of several days of transfer intrigue - has been ruled out of tonight’s FA Cup third-round replay with Millwall.

Having two strikers out of his squad has left manager Moyes with just record signing James Beattie as his only fully-fit frontman.
