Everton new boy Nickica Jelavic may not have been their only target after it was revealed they made a bid to sign Kevin Doyle.
David Moyes was desperate to add fire power to his squad before the transfer window shut and eventually landed Rangers star man Nickica Jelavic for £5.5m but before that happened he apparently had two efforts knocked back by Wolves for Kevin Doyle.
The move was revealed by Doyle's team-mate Stephen Ward who said, after Doyle netted the winner against QPR on Saturday, that he was pleased his team mate had decided to stay with Wolves.
"I was delighted for him. It has been tough for Doyler but he is the ultimate professional," Ward said.
"He is not the kind of person to mope around and he has worked really hard in training.
"When a club like Everton, who are safe in the division and a big club come in you would be surprised if it didn't affect him but the bid changed nothing.
"It is great to have players like him in the squad."
