Everton boss David Moyes has revealed Darron Gibson will need thigh surgery at the end of the season.

Despite not being 100 per cent Gibson has added a different dimension to Everton's midfield with his vision and distribution.

"What he has given us is that he is good on the ball and he has a better range of passing than maybe some of the other midfielders we have," said Moyes.

"I think overall he has had an impact. He had a bit of a dip midway through after he came back from his injury but his form is good right now."
