David Moyes responds to talk of Everton's £60m move for Napoli star Scott McTominay after rumours surfaced that the Scotland star could head back to England soon after completing a move from Manchester United to the Italian side in the summer of 2024.

Moyes told reporters: "Well, I think the reality would be that I'd never talk about other players, but if you're using the word £60m and those sort of numbers, I don't know we're quite at that level yet. Hopefully, we're working towards it. We're trying to build ourselves back up. We've said many times about us trying to get on solid ground again. We've done that with the new owner's new stadium and staying up last year. So we have to try and make sure that we go steady. I don't think we'll be shooting for the stars right away, but it might happen. But my gut feel would be to say, No, that wouldn't be where in the market we'd be in. We may do so (buy some big players) this window, but I think everybody mainly knows that January's never a great window. But hey, there's been some really good players bought in January and that helps clubs at different times."

Then I had the opportunity to come here, he wrote to me. He pushed hard for me to come and I think him so much for that. He's truly a great friend - and it's a good thing I play with him because it's so difficult to be against him! He's an alien!"

Speaking to Livesport Daily, Terry said: "I know Man City made a 29 million pound bid for me back in 2009/10 when Ancelotti was the manager. And as soon as Chelsea spoke to me about it, I was like, 'I don’t want to leave. I do not want to leave this football club. And if you want to sell me, then we have to have a different discussion because I don’t want to be here if you don’t want me.' And Roman was like, 'We want you. We want you to stay.' And I was like, ‘Well, 100% I want to stay, so let’s do a new contract.' And I signed a new contract, committed the rest of my career really to Chelsea and signed a five-year contract at the age of 29, which was the best decision ever."
