Daniel Munoz is waiting to see if he will be joining Everton from Crystal Palace this summer.

The Toffees have been crying out for a new right back for years now, and look to be closing in on a solution.

Munoz has emerged as a shock target, and Everton fans are absolutely delighted at the possibility of his arrival.

David Moyes may have other ideas though, and that hasn't gone down too well on Merseyside.

There has been tension between Everton and Moyes over transfer targets already this summer.

But, Munoz just feels like too good of an opportunity to turn down.

What next for Daniel Munoz and Everton?

Primarily a wing-back at Crystal Palace, the Colombian would need to adjust to a new system in blue.

That, or Moyes could switch to a five-back formation, with the defenders available to make it more than work.

Munoz is among the very best in the Premier League, so it would make sense if everything lined up.

Alan Nixon has reported via his Patreon on Wednesday that the possible transfer is now with Moyes for a final say.

The reliable journalist says Palace want an answer now, with the £20million fee and wages not considered a problem at all.

With the "shock" transfer all but lined up, it's down to Moyes to choose between Munoz and Celtic's Alistair Johnston.

David Moyes can't get this wrong

Once again, there is an obvious answer starting Moyes and Everton in the face, yet they still create their own doubt.

Anybody can see that Munoz is streets ahead of Johnston, and for the same price, the Colombian simply has to be signed.

Johnston hasn't played beyond the Scottish Premiership and MLS, whereas the Palace star has dominated the Premier League for years now.

Everton are in desperate need of a refresh, with their stubborn ideas from boardroom level, all the way down to Moyes, making them a sinking ship.

But, recent signings like Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Hayden Hackney and now possibly Munoz in the past two years, things are changing.

Now it's just over to Moyes and Everton to get this deal over the line.
