Everton manager David Moyes has told goalkeeper Tim Howard that he must stay at the top of his game if he is to remain first-choice for the Toffees next season.

Moyes has served up the warning to the USA international after he brought Slovakia number one Jan Mucha to Goodison Park to offer stiff competition for the in-form glovesman and, despite admitting Howard has excelled this term, he believes the competition will act as a good thing for the Merseysiders.

Speaking to reporters, Moyes said: "Tim Howard has been terrific this year.

"He has been reliable and consistent, but what we need is pressure on positions and I felt there was a chance to do that with Tim.

"He will have more competition next season. Tim has not had an injury this season that has kept him out of games, but will have a bigger level of competition next year.

"One of our best performers this season will need to raise his game next season. Players don't mind that competition. Tim will see it as being what's right for us."
