David Moyes will test Everton’s resolve to keep hold of ­midfielder Tom Davies.

The West Ham boss is keen to take the teenager to the London Stadium as he seeks to rebuild the Eastenders.

Toffees’ chief Sam Allardyce has a ­top-heavy squad at Goodison Park and will listen to offers for several of his players.

Whether that includes Davies ­remains to be seen – but Moyes wants to add the 19-year-old to his engine room.

Allardyce does not have a reputation for blooding young talent and Everton supporters would be unhappy if one of their academy graduates was allowed to leave on the cheap.

Former boss Ronald Koeman handed the England youth ­international his chance in the first team last season.

Since then, he has built up a ­considerable body of experience without establishing himself and Moyes is hoping to trade on that – as well as handing Davies a hefty pay rise.

However, the Hammers banked a hefty loan fee from Villa – understood to be in the ­region of £2million – and Steve Bruce would ­demand that was repaid before any move could be sanctioned.

Snodgrass, 30, also suffered the ­embarrassment of Hammers co-owner David Sullivan questioning his £10.2m signing from Hull last January.

Sullivan said his kids begged him not to buy Snodgrass, although previous boss Slaven Bilic wanted the deal done.

It is understood the fact that cash needed to change hands has scuppered any chance of the Scotland international returning from Villa during the window.

Meanwhile, West Ham are set to offer Declan Rice a new contract that will more than double his wages.

The 18-year-old defender has made a huge impression on Moyes and his assistant Stuart Pearce. He has played in central defence and also in midfield and was outstanding against Tottenham in the 1-1 draw in the Premier League.

Rice was also one of the few Hammers to come out of the goalless draw at Shrewsbury in the third round of the FA Cup a week ago with any credit.

Rice – who has played for the Republic of Ireland at Under-21 level and is rated by Irish boss Martin O’Neill – has a deal that runs out next year and ­currently earns around £10,000 a week.
