Everton are reportedly tracking Dinamo Zagreb striker Dion Beljo and Waterford forward Tommy Lonergan ahead of the January transfer window. The club has scouted both players following strong scoring form, although no formal approach has been made for Beljo. Meanwhile, talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan dismissed David Moyes' suggestion that Everton's summer transfer activity signaled that The Friedkin Group was preparing to sell the club.
