” 1 David Moyes insists Everton will not be signing any stars from the recent World Cup. He was in South Africa as a media pundit and has been linked with Monaco’s South Korean forward Park Chu-Young.
But the Toffees boss says he was more interested in watching the younger players on the peripheral of the tournament rather than the established stars. “I don’t think it’s a market where anyone particularly buys from,” he said. “There have been a lot of players there who play in the Premier League and have maybe played better than they do in the league and others you’ve expected more from and it didn’t happen. “Overall though I don’t think it’s a good place to buy from. What it does offer you is the chance to see the emerging talent.

Chelsea declined to comment on a report by French sports daily L’Equipe on Wednesday night which stated Drogba was quitting playing in Major League Soccer to return to London. And the 37-year-old, who has a year to run on his contract with the Canadians, said discussions were ongoing over his future.
Drogba wrote on Twitter: “Lovely to receive these messages but I have not yet announced my retirement & am still in discussion with @impactmontreal about my future.” Montreal would be reluctant to let their talisman leave, but he has emotional ties to Stamford Bridge, where he enjoyed two spells. He is highly thought of at the club by players and staff, with some suggesting his absence was a contributor to their poor form this season after his summer departure.
He has been repeatedly linked with joining the Blues for a third time since Hiddink was appointed interim boss last month after Jose Mourinho left Chelsea for a second time. The former Ivory Coast striker, who watched the first match since the departure of Mourinho alongside Hiddink and owner Roman Abramovich against Sunderland on December 19, has a rich history with Chelsea.
Drogba scored 164 goals in 381 appearances for the Blues, 157 of the strikes coming in 341 appearances in his first spell, which concluded with the 2012 Champions League victory in Munich. He left Chelsea for two seasons after his silverware-laden eight-year spell and has won four Premier League titles, four FA Cups and three League Cups with the Blues. Drogba had joined Chelsea in the summer of 2004 from Marseille and had short spells with Shanghai Shenhua and Galatasaray in between his stints at Stamford Bridge. He returned in opposition with the Turkish side in March 2014. “
