"Moyes backing to sign Moutinho"

Everton defender Nuno Valente David Moyes hopes can Clinch signing his compatriot Portuguese Joao Moutinho of Lisbon Sp.

Caramels have already had an offer for the midfielder rejected by the Sporting, Nuno Valente, but trusts in Moya eventually get their man.

"The manager is talking with the president all the time," said Valente Everton's official website.

"I think staffing is short and it is important that we get some new players, but the important thing is that players who are a good sign and we will strengthen.

"We have players with quality. Everton is a team that already has quality and we must add to that. Moutinho, of course, is a good player and he is someone I know. He was a star at Euro 2008 in Portugal.

"He's strong, playing good football and driving his team forward. He is also a leader. If he was not, there would be no way that he would be the master of a great club like Sporting at the age of 21 years.

"If we spend so much money on a player like him, he was going to pay again in the coming years.

"I would like to see him here because he is Portuguese, but why we would want most is to see him here because he is a good player and we will improve."
