Alan Hutton

Everton manager David Moyes could be preparing a bid for Tottenham Hotspur defender Alan Hutton.

Reports across the UK press are suggesting Hutton is a target for fellow Scotsman Moyes, who may be prepared to go as high as offering £8 million pounds for his services, though an initial offer of around £5 million is believed to be tabled soon.

Hutton joined Spurs from Rangers for £9m during the January transfer window in 2008 and played a part in helping the club to Carling Cup final victory over Chelsea shortly after.

The Scotland international impressed upon his arrival, but injury has since hampered his progress and he has gone on to make only 25 first team appearances to date.

The right-back could be allowed to leave as Spurs have plenty of competition for the position, with Pascal Chimbonda, Chris Gunter and Vedran Corluka also at the club.

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is rumoured to be planning a mass clear-out at White Hart Lane this summer in order to allow for new arrivals.
