Dan Gosling fancied for future by Everton manager David Moyes

Moyes said: "Dan has been terrific and he has got a lot going for him.

"Now we want to make sure he keeps progressing.

"We are going to try to give him time on the field to make sure that happens.

"We just hope he can keep developing."

He added: "Dan is showing that he can help the team and make a difference, so that gives me confidence and belief in him.

"It is not just a young boy coming into the team. He is a player who can actually make an impact. That is a big thing for a young player to be able to do.

"He is a good lad, very level headed and he has a good work ethic about him."

Moyes signed the England Under-18 international from Plymouth 12 months ago in a deal that could eventually cost Everton £1.2million.

He said: "We had to get him when he was 17 and had to pay decent money for him, but hopefully in time that money will represent good value."
