Everton join Delaye hunt

More from Football

PHILIPPE DELAYE is looking more likely to sign for David Moyes's Everton rather than Blackburn Rovers.

The Rennes midfielder arrived at Ewood Park for a trial spell but is thought to be too attack-minded for Graeme Souness, who is in the market for a defensive anchor man.

Instead, Delaye moved on to Merseyside on Tuesday, but he is unsure as to whether he has done enough to clinch a move to England.

"It is difficult to have an opinion after three training sessions," admitted the 28-year-old.

"Considering my situation at Rennes, I could not refuse those trials.

"However, I won't just play for any English club. It was an opportunity.

"I am fit and I am waiting for their answer.

"Abroad or not, I don't care, as long as I can play, have fun, and feel that people rely on me."
