Everton boss Dave Moyes admits he needs to make up to six new signings before the summer market shuts.

He told the club's official website: "We can't hide the fact that we need new players at Everton.

"Everybody knows it, I know it, the players know it - we have to get five or six players in before the season starts.

"It's OK getting fit, but you've got to be able to play better and at the moment there's not enough competition for the players to realise that if they play poorly they won't be selected."
