Moyes close to second signing
Everton manager David Moyes has revealed he is closing in on a second defender after completing the signing of Portsmouth's Sylvain Distin.
Distin, 31, is expected to make his debut on Sunday against Wigan at Goodison Park.
However Moyes wants more options at the back with Joleon Lescott having left for Manchester City and Phil Jagielka a long-term injury absentee.
"I'm very close to bringing in another centre-half as well," said the Everton boss, without releasing any further details.
Meanwhile Everton have been given a couple of long trips in the Europa League and will face Belarus side BATE Borisov, AEK Athens and Benfica. Moyes added: "I'm happy enough with the draw as I am pleased to be in it.
"The travelling is a bit longer though than I would like. But there are a couple of nice places for our fans to see and a couple of good games for us all. We are looking forward to it."
