Alan Hutton has been linked with a loan move to Everton Football Club.

The Scotland international has struggled with form and fitness since joining Tottenham Hotspur from Rangers, and is one of a handful of players available for transfer.

The News of the World claim Newcastle United have failed in a bid to loan him for the rest of the season, and now the Toffees are about to make an offer.

David Moyes is eager to add more bodies to his squad in the winter despite tight finances, but he would likely face competition for Hutton from Sunderland.
