Moyes keen on McCann

However, the Everton manager says he will not pay the fee the Black Cats are currently asking for the player who played at Goodison before signing for Sunderland in 1998 for £500,000.

He's a player that I have made an enquiry about but at the present time the price that's being asked for him is too much," Moyes told the official Everton website.

"That's how it is but he is a player that we admire and it's true that we are interested in Gavin."
