Toffees sweet on O'Neil

12 August 2009 12:05
Skysports.com understands Everton are weighing up a move for Middlesbrough midfielder Gary O'Neil. O'Neil has been linked with a move away from Boro all summer following their relegation to the Championship. Fulham and Portsmouth are thought to be chasing O'Neil, but Everton boss David Moyes is hoping to win the chase for the versatile midfielder. Moyes has been frustrated in the transfer market so far this summer and he sees O'Neil as someone who could add options to his squad. O'Neil, who has delayed having a hernia operation, is believed to be keen on a move away from the Riverside, but Boro's asking price is thought to be putting off interested parties.
