Toffees chase Munich ace

Everton are reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich centre-back Daniel Van Buyten on a loan deal.

David Moyes is believed to be in the market for a defender and Van Buyten is supposedly very high on his wish list.

The Belgian defender spent a very successful loan spell at fellow Premier League side Manchester City three seasons ago and the Bayern ace may be interested in a move back to England.

In my view, Van Buyten is a smashing player. He is a very physical defender with a lot of talent and would provide terrific cover for the African Nations bound Joseph Yobo. I feel if Everton are to secure Van Buyten's signature they may yet brake into the top four.
