Everton boss David Moyes is the shock name under consideration at Liverpool.

The Daily Star Sunday says the Everton chief has a close relationship with Kenny Dalglish, who is leading the hunt for a successor to Rafa Benitez.

Dalglish himself, however, is also in the frame, along with Italy's Marcello Lippi - available after the World Cup.

But the job Moyes has done at Everton has impressed neighbours Liverpool - and he is aware of their interest. But there would be huge complications involved in Moyes moving across Stanley Park and Liverpool realise it would be difficult to make an official approach.
