Moyes is keen on refreshing a front line that has struggled for fitness and goals over the past few seasons. While Beto has performed admirably, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has faded away. The latter, who has 11 England caps to his name, is out of contract in the summer and it is believed Moyes will be allowed the funds to secure a player of Delap's price tag.
