The former scout, who has a wealth of experience in top-level player recruitment and worked closely with David Moyes during their time at West Ham, revealed Dewsbury-Hall had been mentioned as a target for the Hammers during that spell.

“Dewsbury-Hall is a very decent player,” he told

“He’d certainly make a difference at a club of their level, and he’s got the qualities to be a real asset.

“It doesn’t look as if he’ll ever be a regular for Chelsea and they’re willing to let him move on, and I expect Everton will be one of the clubs keen to bring him in.

“When I was at West Ham with Moysey, he was one of the players who was brought up a couple of times but never ended up happening.

“So he’s obviously a player the manager is aware of and would be willing to bring in.

“A lot of issues in the January transfer market come from players not being available, but he’s one that is possible to get because he’s not involved at Chelsea.

“I could see him being an Everton player before the window closes.”
