Everton manager David Moyes has underlined his commitment to bringing in British players. The Toffees started their last match against West Ham United with an entire English defence and five English players in all.

And Moyes says he will continue to actively recruit British players as the Merseyside club look to establish themselves as European challengers.
He said: "Definitely. I think that (signing British players) is important. When we took over at Everton it was to avoid being in the bottom six; now our buying is to be in the top six so our buying has changed a little bit. The players that we brought in to keep us out of the bottom six have gone on to prove that they can all be part of the top six. So we mustn't not look at that market and I am very keen to keep bringing in British boys. That's why we put a lot of effort into scouting in the UK to see if we can find the right players."
