Everton swoop for Spurs star

Everton are ready to swoop for Tottenham Hotspur striker Darren Bent, according to reports.

The Daily Mirror claims that the England star could be on his way to Goodison Park for half of the 16m which Spurs paid for him a year ago.

The Blues are aiming to pair-up Bent with Yakubu as they look to offload 7m-rated Andy Johnson.

Meanwhile, Scotland striker James McFadden is keen to leave Birmingham following their relegation to the Championship, according to his agent.

McFadden joined Birmingham from Everton in January for 5million but could not keep Alex McLeish's side in the Barclays Premier League.

With Celtic interested, McFadden could move back to Scotland.

Agent Willie McKay said: "James has told me that he wants to leave.

"He is happy when Alex McLeish gave him an opportunity to play first-team football every week but it's a short career and he wants to play at the highest level."

McFadden, 25, signed a three-and-a-half-year contract when he arrived at Birmingham and has scored four goals in 12 games.
