Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha is keen on a move to Everton.
The People says QPR boss Mark Hughes was willing to pay £60,000 a week to lure Onuoha to West London. But the 26-year-old wants to stay in the North West and Everton manager David Moyes hopes that will work in his favour.
Moyes wanted a central defender and defensive central midfielder during this transfer window, and has already taken Darron Gibson from Manchester United. Landing Onuoha, who can operate anywhere across the back line but predominantly in the centre, would complete a good window for the Everton gaffer.
