It is early days, but Moyes’ Everton look like they are in a much better position to remedy their attacking woes

Moyes was at Sunderland when Neil was still in the club's academy, and is said to be a big admirer of the England Under-20 international. He has played over 150 league games for Sunderland since making his senior debut in 2018, becoming a first-team regular in the 2021/22 campaign.

David Moyes is back. Twelve years after he headed east for a brief, ill-starred spell at Manchester United, the veteran manager is nearing a return to Everton, the place he made his name, charged with the responsibility of ensuring the magnificent new Bramley-Moore Dock is not to be the finest stadium in the Championship next season.

Everton have put Sunderland midfielder Dan Neil on their shortlist of transfer targets but may find it difficult to land him this month.
