Everton have held talks with in-demand striker Liam Delap and made their case for the £30million Ipswich man to join them over fellow Premier League rivals.
Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle are also in pursuit of the 22-year-old who has scored 12 goals this season for the relegated Tractor Boys.
But boss David Moyes has made his case to Delap, who signed a door outside Goodison Park earlier this month, telling him why he should join them instead.
Moyes said: ‘He's spoken to three or four clubs and you know, he's given us the opportunity to pitch our case.
