David Moyes looks set to finally bring attacking fire-power to Goodison Park with reports claiming that the Toffees manager is on the verge of signing Israeli international Elyaniv Barda.
The Daily Mirror claims that the 27-year-old, who currently plays for Belgian side Genk, will seal a move in a deal worth around £2m.
The 5ft 10” striker has scored an impressive 20 goals in 46 appearances for Genk since moving to the Jupiler Pro League from Hapoel Tel Aviv.
In recent weeks David Moyes has had to rely on goals from midfield with Mikel Arteta, Maraoune Fellaini and Tim Cahill all weighing in impressively. With Yakubu out injured for the rest of the season and question marks surrounding the long-term fitness of Louis Saha, it looks as though Barda should bring some relief.
