EVERTON will make a new bid for Joe Hart and aim to fund it by selling Joel Robles to Sunderland.

Boss Ronald Koeman did claim he had no interest in Man City and England keeper Hart.

But his staff have been trying to find a buyer for Spaniard Robles, who can go for £6million, with Black Cats chief David Moyes being sounded out over a swap deal for defender Lamine Kone.

Moyes is on the look-out for a senior keeper as Vito Mannone is injured and is considering Robles as a serious option. Jordan Pickford has stepped in but may not be ready to play every week.

The Toffees would use the money from a Robles sale to either buy Hart from City or take him on loan. They prefer the latter option, but the Manchester giants are not so sure about that idea.

Hart is still Everton's top target for the keeper slot but the project is dear because of his £175,000-a-week wages and any transfer or rental fee. Losing Robles's salary would be a big help.
