Everton step up interest in Costa Rican star Bryan Oviedo
EVERTON are ready to step up their interest in Costa Rican international Bryan Oviedo after his club, FC Copenhagen, failed to qualify for the Champions League.
The left-sided star, who can play at full-back and in midfield, was the subject of a failed bid earlier this month, but Everton manager David Moyes will make an improved offer today ahead of tomorrow's transfer deadline.
Oviedo, 22, has just one year left on his contract and is unlikely to sign an extension after Copenhagen lost to Lille in the final qualifying round for the Champions League on Wednesday night.
West Brom, who host Everton on Saturday, have also been tracking the player.
