Moyes has been linked with numerous Premier League players since returning to club management with the San Sebastian based club and, although no deals are set to go through before the upcoming clash with Barcelona, Moyes is hoping that these two players well be joining him in the Basque country by the end of the month:
Arouna Kone (Everton)
Everton striker Arouna Kone has only just returned to action after a lengthy injury lay off, and the Ivorian has certainly looked rusty in his handful of performances for Roberto Martinez’s side in recent weeks. A loan move to regain fitness may well be a favourable outcome for all parties and Moyes believes that he has a good chance of landing the striker, who has been a success in La Liga before, although he faces competition from divisional rivals Levante.
Mohamed Salah (Chelsea)
Less realistic is a loan move for out-of-favour Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah, who is believed to be interesting a number of major European clubs as well as Moyes’ Real Sociedad. The Egyptian has been on the periphery of matters since he was brought to Stamford Bridge from FC Basel in January and could benefit from regular action, but Moyes has his work cut out persuading Salah that San Sebastian represents the right move for him.
