Everton set to sign Wigan keeper Carlo Nash
CARLO NASH is on the verge of becoming Everton's first signing of transfer deadline day.
Blues boss David Moyes has been looking to find experienced cover for first choice goalkeeper Tim Howard all summer and has weighed up a number of options but is ready to opt for Nash.
The 34-year-old has been at Wigan Athletic since February 2007 but is currently third in the pecking order behind Chris Kirkland and Mike Pollitt and spent the end of last season on loan at Stoke City.
Steve Bruce was not keen to let him leave while there were worries about Kirkland's fitness last week but he played in Wigan's 5-0 win at Hull on Saturday and has now given Nash the green light to go.
Nash, who numbers Manchester City, Middlesbrough and Preston among his former employers, has made 274 appearances during his career but he will not be available to play in the Carling Cup as he is cup tied after playing in Wigan's 4-0 win over Notts County.
