Everton boss David Moyes is ready to sign Sheffield United defender Matthew Kilgallon this month.

The People says Moyes is ready to bring forward his signing of Matthew Kilgallon - if Sheffield United agree a bargain fee.

Moyes had teed up an end-of-season deal for the centre-half, whose contract is running out at Bramall Lane, but now the shock sale of Lucas Neill has changed the time-scale.

The Goodison boss is set to make a £1m offer for Kilgallon - who rejected a move to Burnley last week - and hopes the Blades accept.
