Everton boss David Moyes admits a permanent deal is on the backburner for Royston Drenthe.

Drenthe is on-loan at Everton from Real Madrid.

"Roy can be better with 20 minutes impact. But he certainly puts the opposition on the back foot and makes them unsure. We just need to use him at the right times at the right places," said Moyes.

"We've not talked about getting him permanently at the moment, we're more concerned with signing a centre half or a centre forward."
