Former Italy number 1 Francesco Toldo has been linked with a move to Everton following the arrival of another goalkeeper to his current side Inter Milan.

This means he is now third choice keeper at Inter and is looking for a move from the San Siro. It has been widely recognised that David Moyes is on the lookout for a new keeper with Nigel Martyn reaching the end of his career and Richard Wright suffering a loss of form. Previously it was thought Anti Niemi was his main target but if Toldo becomes available then it might be too good an opportunity to turn down.

His agent said 'Francesco is a Bosman in the summer and there are offers in for him now.'

'In the market in England I know Everton like Francesco and their manager is clever in that he has bought players from Italy before so he knows all about Francesco.'

'If he receives a good offer Francesco would welcome a move to England and I think Everton would be a good solution for Francesco.'

Also according to some newspapers Sampdoria may be interested in signing Marcus Bent for a staggering 3m. Bent has been linked with Charlton since last season finished but the Italian club may be ready to step in ahead of them and take him off Everton's hands.
