Moyes to dip into the Championship again

Everton join the race to sign Republic of Ireland hit man Shane Long.

Long, 24 has been in fine form this term bagging 26 goals for club and country and is currently being tracked by Newcastle and Celtic, but the Daily Mail reports that Everton has now joined the chase to sign the 24-year old.

Moyes said ‘I’d have concerns (about going into the new season with this squad). I think there are areas I should address if I can.

‘But there is a difficult world out there where things are struggling. We may find there is not as much spending as in the past.’
