David Moyes may play family card to finalise new Everton transfer
David Moyes may turn to his brother Kenny in order to bring Tom Cannon to Everton in the January transfer window.
The Toffees are keen on securing the 22-year-old’s services as Moyes wants to get his team as far away as possible from relegation danger. [Sami Mokbel, 15 January]
With Leicester also keen on cashing in on Cannon, a deal is there to be done for the Merseyside outfit.
The Scotsman is expected to be hands-on with regards to transfers and this could mean him personally contacting Cannon’s agent, Kenny Moyes, his brother, to facilitate the transfer. [BBC]
He could personally contact him and swing the deal in his side’s favour ahead of potential suitors.
Tom Cannon would be a good January signing for Everton
To get the best out of Cannon, Moyes would certainly leverage his experience in nurturing young talents, as demonstrated during his previous tenure at the club with players like Wayne Rooney.
The Scotsman can start by integrating the 22-year-old into the first team through calculated game time, perhaps in cup competitions or as a substitute in league matches, allowing him to gain experience without overwhelming pressure.
Tactically, Moyes should focus on a system that suits the striker’s strengths, such as deploying him as a central striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation where he can utilise his speed and finishing ability.
Under Sean Dyche, tactics were stale and players were showing no signs no progress but under Moyes, things are expected to be different.
He is known to integrate younger players well and take them to the next level.
