Everton manager David Moyes has admitted that he is considering turning Denis Stracqualursi's loan move into a permanent one.

The Argentinian is currently in the middle of a season-long loan switch at Goodison Park from parent club Tigre.

Moyes, who has been impressed with the 24-year-old's performances recently, believes that it would be affordable to secure the striker's services on a permanent basis.

"I don't know how much he'd cost, but it wouldn't be massive," said Moyes.

"I saw things [against Chelsea], like early in the second half when the ball went through to the keeper and Denis chased it down, then the next player did the same.

"That got the crowd up, the players pick up on it and it gives everyone a real lift. He's been doing fantastic for us."

Stracqualursi scored his first Premier League goal during Saturday's 2-0 win over Chelsea.
