David Moyes is reportedly planning a January loan bid for Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku.
The 18-year-old moved to Stamford Bridge this summer from Anderlecht in a deal that could cost Chelsea up to £18m.
Despite initial fanfare, Lukaku has so far not made a Premier League start for the Blues, leading Andre Villas-Boas to consider loaning him out for first-team experience.
With Stoke already denied a loan move, Everton are now planning a loan bid to bring the Belgian to Goodison for six months.
