Is Hughton after James Vaughan to make up for injured strikers?

The Mirror is reporting that Hughton has asked Everton if he can have James Vaughan on loan to plug the gaps. Vaughan is Everton’s youngest ever goalscorer but has been fairly injury-hit himself. He’s fit now but has found himself warming the bench a lot and is apparently keen to see some first team football somewhere.
The Mirror says that Moyes will think about it and give Hughton an answer over the weekend but it also says that Hughton has other targets too.
Hughton told yesterday’s Chronicle this about Ameobi:
“As far as Shola is concerned, we must stick to the factual stuff.
“What he’s got is a stress injury to the bone, which is being assessed today by our medical team.
“We will see what the extent of the damage is.
“But we remain very hopeful that this is not a long-term injury.
“In all honesty he is a doubt for Leicester, but we hope it isn’t a long-term injury.” (more…)
