Reds and Toffees want to see more of Moore

They say that the market for young footballers is ridiculously overpaced these days; players with the slightest hint of potential are spotted, snapped up and then usually end up on the scrapheap.

They also say that any statement should be backed up with some firm evidence to prove the point and this shall now be undertaken although as this rumour is only a piece of speculation; only the first two above points can be illustrated.

The rumour comes from today's Daily Mirror who state that Manchester United and Everton both had scouts sniffing (not literally) around Leicester City centre half Liam Moore this weekend.

Moore, who has made a grand total of five appearances for the Foxes, also reportedly has Sunderland and Spurs interests piqued.

All in all, it's like an auction really as all the parties try to show their interest without giving it away.

It's probably only a matter of time before Jim Lawlor and Alan Stubbs (the United and Everton scouts respectively who were at the Foxes game this weekend) turn up where fake glasses complete with nose and moustache attached to not give themselves away.

And what to make of the fact United are lining up a swoop for Moore to combat their immediate defensive crisis? Jeez.
