Former Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is interested in taking over at Everton.

A prime job in the Premier League has become available with the news that Everton sacked Marco Silva on Thursday.

A host of managers are interested in the job, and Pardew is not afraid to put his name in the hat.

The Toffees are currently in the relegation zone after a miserable start to the season.

Pardew told Amazon Prime Sport: "Of course. Moyes is a good fit for Everton, it looks like a lot of problems there, no cohesion, I'm not sure what the philosophy is.

"They're in danger of being in a relegation scrap.

"There's a lot of managers like myself who could do that kind of job."
