The Everton manager has asked Forest about Saunders' price and availability and is considering a pounds 600,000 bid for the former Liverpool striker, who is on the fringe of Dave Bassett's side. Saunders, 33, would be delighted to return to the Premier League and the move could go ahead in time for a debut against West Ham on Saturday.
Kendall has run out of targets, including Manchester City's Uwe Rosler, and needs a new partner for Duncan Ferguson in the hopes of avoiding a second successive home defeat. Everton had even considered a move for Ian Rush before he joined Newcastle, but Saunders is emerging as the favourite to join the Toffees in the next few days. Saunders turned down Everton in favour of Liverpool seven seasons ago.
