Allardyce thinking about N'Zonzi and Deeney?

New Everton boss Sam Allardyce is reportedly considering a January move for Sevilla midfielder Steven N'Zonzi.

Allardyce brought N'Zonzi to Blackburn Rovers in 2009, and is still believed to have a close relationship with the Frenchman.

N'Zonzi later represented Stoke City in the Premier League before joining Sevilla, where he has been a key player over the last two seasons.

According to The Mirror, Allardyce is hopeful that he can convince the midfielder to join the Toffees. The report adds that Sevilla would be prepared to sell N'Zonzi for a figure in the region of £20M.

In addition, Allardyce has reportedly targeted a January move for Watford striker Troy Deeney as he looks to capitalise on the funds promised to him by majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri.

The new Everton boss is allegedly willing to part with up to £40M to secure the services of Deeney, who was linked with the Toffees in the summer.
