Everton striker chase

Tuesday, 06/12/2011

Everton may go for a big name loan striker in January - with Jermain Defoe on their shopping list.

The England hitman needs regular games with the finals of Euro 2012 looming and isn't happy with his irregular appearances for Tottenham.

Everton boss David Moyes will have very little cash if any to buy a big-name, established hitman during the transfer window and a loan option could be his best shout.

Moyes had hoped to once again borrow USA frontman Landon Donovan from LA Galaxy but the news from the States is that the forward is not keen on a return to England.

Moyes admits: "We need a striker badly. We needed one badly last season if we are honest, and maybe even the season before."
