Everton will have to stump up £1.7m if they want to sign Beira Mar's highly-rated defender Yohan Tavares.

It has been reported that Everton manager David Moyes is keen on a move for the 23-year-old and was hopeful of landing him for just £500,000.

But, according to reports in Portugal, Beira Mar will not let Tavares leave unless a club meets his £1.7m minimum fee release clause in January. A club source said: "He will only leave if a club pays the clause. We are not willing to negotiate."

French defender Tavares is considered one of the brightest prospects in the Portuguese league and has attracted interest from Stuttgart and Palermo as well as Everton.

Ralph, Pooch, Chubby, Butch, Tiny of the hit 70's group Tavares will form a formidable 5 man defence!

I suppose it's cheaper than the combined fee for Earth, Wind and Fire.

Would raise a few questions and answers:

"It Only Takes a Minute" - to score a goal but why cant we?
"Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel" - we are missing a decent goal scorer since we sold ours
"Don't Take Away the Music" - they've already taken away the football
"Whodunit" - Agent BK and Gollum
