Craig Gordon is the latest free agent to be linked with a move to Everton, as David Moyes looks to strengthen his squad.
Scottish goalkeeper Gordon was released by Sunderland over the summer after spending a total of five seasons on Wearside. Gordon, who arrived at the Stadium of Light from Hearts for a record 9 million pounds, was the most expensive goalkeeper in English history prior to Manchester United's signing of David De Gea.
Gordon made a successful start to his Sunderland career in his first few seasons there but a series of injuries meant Belgian keeper, Simon Mignolet, took his chance between the sticks. Over the last two seasons, Gordon saw very little action in the Barclays Premier League due to the good form of Mignolet and was therefore released by Sunderland at the end of last season.
A host of clubs are said to be looking at Gordon, who has 40 full international caps under his belt for the Scottish national side, but Everton are said to be leading the chase. Moyes wants additional cover for Tim Howard, with current number two, Jan Mucha, not providing enough competition to the American keeper and not performing well enough when called upon.
