Everton boss Moyes expects goals from Jelavic

Everton boss David Moyes is seeking goals from former Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic.

There will be an extra weight on Jelavic's shoulders following the departure of Louis Saha to Tottenham.

Moyes said: "It is great news for us. We have been looking for a centre-forward for a while. We just hope now he can help us score some goals and we can build on the performance (against City).

"Denis (Stracqualursi) has done great and with Jelavic coming in hopefully it bodes well for the coming months. I think he would have seen the hard work that the players put in.

"He is coming from a great football club but I think he is coming to another great football club. He really wants to play in the Premier League and he really wants to play for Everton. That goes a long way.

"He will also want to play for Croatia in the European Championship so hopefully that will keep his form good, keep him hungry to score and play well."
