Everton are now chasing Arsenal reserve keeper Richard Wright and have abandoned their chase of Rams nuber one, Mart Poom.

David Moyes is believed to be angry that Derby County are holding out for more than the £3.5 million offered for Poom and now believes he can tempt Arsenal to release Wright who has failed to impress Arsen Wenger as Arsenals number 2 keeper after his £5million move last season from Ipswich Town.

The news is very good news for Derby boss John Gregory who has stated that he does not want to lose Poom.
