Zayatte: Move twist

Young Boys Berne defender Kamil Zayatte's proposed move to Everton has stalled while Newcastle United are keen on securing his services, his agent has revealed to setantasports.com.

The Guinea international impressed David Moyes during a trial on Merseyside but Young Boys have already explained that three other English clubs are showing an interest in the 23-year-old.

As things become ever more frantic before the transfer window shuts on Monday night, the scramble for signings is well underway particularly as agents try and manoeuvre the best moves for their clients.

Zayatte is keen to make the switch to England and more developments are expected before the weekend.

"I don’t know what is happening at Everton, actually there might be a slight problem between David Moyes and his president regarding the signing, and I’m also aware of the fact that Newcastle want him as well,” Roger Boli told setantasports.com.

“I can’t tell with which club he is going to sign for the moment, but I may tomorrow.”

ChrisEFC - 29 August 2008 12:10: Let him go where ever he wants. We only want players who want to play for Everton. Newcastle are experts at pinching players from Everton at the last minute, which to be fair is a blessing in disguise. Scott Parker and Alan Smith are two favorites of mine. Linked with Everton, poached by Newcastle and both utter junk! Let him go… PS – As for big club, the definition of a big club in the Newcastle version of the English dictionary means big stadium and big wages! You are not a big club and until you replace the skeletons in your trophy room with some silverware then please have a rethink about what you promote yourselves as being!! You only get a big crowd as fishing in Whitby Bay at the moment is pretty poor. Relegation fodder unfortunately!; Report this to a moderator

SC 1878 - 28 August 2008 23:44: Re: Who?? Everton a small club? I think you should check your history mate and you'll find out that we're a more successful club than villa with a far better fanbase. Before you got Lerner's millions you came to goodison with 1000 fans and got hammered 4-1- even Derby brought more than that last year. You tell me who's the small club.; Report this to a moderator

Jackie - 28 August 2008 23:18: Is it not possible to have comments from people who can write reasonable English? Some of the comments we have to read are apparently written by illiterates. It's sometimes very difficult to understand what opinions they're trying to express. Sad! Whatever happened to teaching basic English in schools? I assume this will not be published, (and this does not worry me at all),but is there relly nothing you can do about it?; Report this to a moderator

Charlie - 28 August 2008 22:53: I'd much rather sign this guy than not sign him, especially for 2 - 3 million. He's a versatile player who can work both in defence and midfield. We do need to strengthen elsewhere, but we're generally very short on numbers all around, so a decent utility player like this might solve a few of our problems. If he can provide decent cover for Taylor, Beye, Geremi or Butt - one of whom will most likely catch an injury at some point during this season - then he'll be a worthwhile investment.; Report this to a moderator

tal tha geordie - 28 August 2008 22:20: eez an areet player but as "texas n.u.f.c fan" said itz not defenders we need as we already hav a quality devence. i think 1 or 2 more GOOD midfielders that know how to play football and a striker that will WOW the geordie fans is what we need. HAWAY THA LADS ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ALSO MILNER HOPE YA STAY AT NEWCASTLE ! ! ! !! ! ! !; Report this to a moderator

ToffeeDan - 28 August 2008 22:05: We don't really want him, offered him a take it or leave it. Jacobson filled the RB slot, so he's signing for Newcastle.; Report this to a moderator

Setanta readers' comment of the day

“While all big teams (Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool) were busy protecting their best players, Arsenal was in forefront encouraging injury prone Walcott to participate in that useless freindly. Arsenal has a very thin squad and I remember Walcott said it but Wenger didn't take action to add some players. Arsenal players are not made of steel and Wenger should be prepared for such situation. We need Arsenal supporters on the board of Arsenal who can feel the way we feel when the team is losing and they can force Wenger to buy some experience players. Current board members are only interested in profits yet they (profits) don't go into history of the club”
