Everton boss Dave Moyes faces disappointment over his pursuit of Sporting Lisbon midfielder Joao Moutinho.
However, his club will not budge an inch from their £20m valuation of the player - and that is a price Everton simply can't afford with other deals still to be done.
It's a huge blow to Moyes, who is yet to break his duck in this summer's transfer window, especially as Moutinho has publicly stated his wish to join the Toffees.
