Toffees linked with Larsson

Former Celtic and Manchester United star Henrik Larsson is reportedly considering an approach from Everton to ease the striker crisis at Goodison Park.
Larsson, 37, is currently a free agent after his contract with Swedish club Helsingborgs expired.
The former Sweden international moved to Old Trafford on a short-term deal in January 2007 and has admitted he would be open to another stint in the Premier League.
The Toffees are currently considering their options after losing Ayegbeni Yakubu for the remainder of the season with an Achilles injury.
Injury-plagued striker Louis Saha is currently struggling with a hamstring problem, while James Vaughan also faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines following his latest bout of knee surgery.
Toffees boss David Moyes has already suggested he will look to bolster his options when the transfer window reopens in January.
"I am a free agent and have not yet decided what to do next," said Larsson in a recent interview.
"I like Helsingborgs, but I want to see a change of attitude and in the way the club is run before I sign again.
"I have not completely closed my mind to the idea of going abroad again, so we will see what happens."
