Everton boss David Moyes is being linked with a summer raid on Tottenham for midfielder Tom Huddlestone.
Moyes has seen the likes of Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta struggle with injury for spells this term and is set to bolster his options at the end of the season.
The Blues look set to secure Uefa Cup football given the fact they need just one point from their final game - at home against Newcastle on Sunday - which would be a big incentive for Huddlestone to head to Merseyside.
Spurs look set for big changes in the summer a boss Juande Ramos further overhauls the squad inherited from Martin Jol and Huddlestone could be surplus to requirements.
The central midfielder is rated in the £5m bracket which Everton would have no problem paying after another successful season.

I think he’s a quality footballer. Precision passing range and a crisp strike with either his left or right peg. But i prefer Fernandes and both are very similar and I’m not sure that would work in midfield. We need a ballwinner. Though if we had a midfield of Arteta, Fernandes, Huddlestone and Pienaar we would rarely lose possesion. Until we passed to Phil Neville

Agree with Olli, should be regarded as a definite purchase, if that is, Spurs are willing to sell, which I find unlikely considering the transformation of his form and subsequent weight loss since Ramos arrived.

I think he’d be a good buy, got strength and passing ability but not too mobile. If Moyes could get his stamina and workrate up a bit he’d be a good aquisition.
