 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. Vita Pereira has withdrawn from the Everton managerial hunt. He thanked the club for showing an interest in him. He has chosen to remain in China with his current club. He said he was honoured to be considered for the role as Everton manager, but the club he manages in China is close to his heart and he has chosen to withdraw from the process. I'm not sure it had anything to do with them offering him 25 million or 30 million to stay. That's up to him and I'm not sure whether he was as high up on the agenda as maybe it's been the cater. But who actually knows who knows, but he's withdrawn from the search for a new Everton manager. Much to a lot of Evertonians relief it has to be said. Other people still in the run and David Moyes is the current favourite to become the new Everton manager. A lot of money on him and obviously people talking about David Moyes with possibly Duncan Ferguson as his assistant manager. Other people in the frame, Martello Gallardo is still in the frame. He is out of contract on Friday after his River Plate side playing the Argentinian Cup final. There's some money spread on him, some reports linking him with Everton. I think he's one who's probably the most intriguing out of the list of names that have come up so far. But he's obviously never managed in Europe, although he has been very successful in Argentina. Other managers, Rafa Benitez, he spoke on Monday night football last night and said a few things, I apologise for calling Everton a small club. Said he would take the job, he'd like the job, he's got friends as Evertonians but he wasn't looking to lead China at the moment. Ralph Ranyich is another name that's been bandied about. I personally think he'd be a fantastic addition for Everton. He has been doing the sporting director job at Leipzig but I feel if he could come in and maybe have Duncan Ferguson as his assistant that would be a really good fit. Other people are still on the list such as Nicol Covac and Eddie Howe. But we'll have to wait and see but as I say David Moyes is the favourite. Interestingly, he's still the favourite before Vita Pereira with Drew from the process. So we'll have to wait and see. But the longer it goes on, the likely others that Duncan Ferguson will be in the dugout when Everton faced Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. Some big news today is that Latin Ibrahimovic has been linked with a move to Everton in January. The Swedish striker is currently out of contract, haven't finished the season in LA Galaxy and left there. His agent is Mini Raiola, who is obviously very close to Everton, close to Farad Masheri and of course looks after Marcel Brands and that's probably how the link with Slatan has come about. Everton reportedly ready to make Ibrahimovic their highest player on an 18-month contract. We know that the club are looking for an experienced striker to help with the development of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Moyes Keane. Ibrahimovic would be very, very interested and wanted me pet absolutely delighted be his dream come true, loved him. But he's such a big name, isn't he? What is it? 4, 8, 11, 12 letters, something like that. But he's a massive name in Welsh football and can still do a job, big target man. So we'll wait and see whether there is anything in that. But Raiola has smooth deals between Everton and other clubs before most notably Moyes Keane in the summer. So we'll see what happens with that one. And Moyes Keane himself has been linked with a couple of loan moves in January. Calcio Mercato reporting that Roma and Bologna are interested in taking the young striker on loan. Everton made their stance pretty clear a couple of weeks ago and said he's not going anywhere. He's here for the long term and Calcio Mercato have got most stuff wrong this season. So it's probably one you can file under nonsense. And finally, Everton under 23s lost 2-1 at Leicester City last night. It's the Fox's eighth straight win. The Young Blues were 2-0 down before Anthony Gordon reduced the rears with a late penalty. But Everton couldn't find an equaliser so went down. Two goals to one. Make sure you subscribe.
