ExtraFootie understands that Everton boss David Moyes is closely monitoring the situation of Scotland international full-back Alan Hutton at Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

Our sources at ExtraFootie.co.uk have indicated that Moyes is a big admirer of his compatriot and will consider making an attempt to lure him to Goodison Park if, as expected, Spurs pip the Toffees to the signings of Sheffield United duo Kyle Naughton and Kyle Walker in a combined £8million deal later this week.

White Hart Lane chief Harry Redknapp is believed to be willing to listen to offers for both Hutton and Pascal Chimbonda, with Naughton and Corluka expected to battle it out for the right-back position at the club next season.

Hutton, 25, has endured a frustrating time in North London since arriving in a £9million deal from SPL champions Rangers last summer as a foot injury has plagued his Spurs career to date and restricted him to just 27 appearances for the club.

Nevertheless, having been described by Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson as 'one of the best right-backs in Europe', the tall and athletic Hutton would be a welcome addition to the Toffees ranks given the fact they released Lars Jacobsen and Nuno Valente at the end of last month.

Hutton often saves his best performances for Scotland, with his finest display to date coming aginst Italy at Hampden Park in the Euro 2008 qualifier in November 2007 when he absolutely terrorised AC Milan star Gianluca Zambrotta with his marauding runs down the right-flank.

Moyes knows all about Hutton's qualities and should a bid be forthcoming, he will hope the Glasgow-born star can reproduce the types of performances he does wearing the blue of his country, in the blue of Everton next season.
