David Moyes admits he had striker Rickie Lambert under consideration for a move to Goodison Park before he joined Southampton some years ago.

"He caught my attention when he was at Bristol Rovers (between 2006 and 2009)," said Moyes. "Round that time we were looking around the leagues to see and we took Jermaine Beckford when Rickie was just about to go to Southampton."

He added: "We were well aware of him and his goalscoring and he had done great.

"It is great credit to the boys who come through the leagues — it shows a great deal of hunger and perseverance to get through to the top and he's done that."
