Everton manager David Moyes is hopeful striker Nikica Jelavic can provide the answer to their goalscoring problems but accepts the rest of the team have to give him the right support.

The Croatia international scored his second goal since arriving from Rangers in Saturday's 2-0 win at Swansea.

Jelavic has started four times in seven appearances following his £5.5million transfer but has already shown he could provide Everton with some much-needed firepower up front.

However, Moyes wants his team to make life as easy as possible in front of goal for the 26-year-old, which has not always been the case for other strikers at the club.

"I think he has done quite well," said Moyes ahead of their FA Cup quarter-final replay at Sunderland on Tuesday night.

"When he came he had a bit of a problem with his stomach and he has missed a few weeks but he has given us something slightly different and scored a couple of goals.

"If he keeps it ticking over it will be good as (left-back) Leighton Baines is our top goalscorer with four - so it is quite obvious to see where we have been short.

"It can weigh on you (not scoring) and we have had other centre-forwards here who have found it a struggle to score.

"We have to make sure they get the right service, we have to make sure we are creative enough in the final third and then they do get the chances.

"Then when they get the chances the centre-forwards have to make sure they take them.

"Denis Straqualursi came on and should have scored one or maybe two against Swansea and Steven Pienaar had chances so we have got to try to take that on and make sure we take them in the game against Sunderland."

Centre-back Phil Jagielka made his second successive start in south Wales after recovering from a knee problem which sidelined him for two months and Moyes is delighted to see the defender rediscovering his best form.

"I thought Jags was ever so good on Saturday," added the Scot.

"He had an injury and we brought him back to start in a difficult game (the 3-0 Merseyside derby defeat) and he did well in that as well.

"On Saturday he showed why arguably he is one of the best centre-halves in England.

"He was immaculate in all the things he did and that is great because he is a top player."

Everton Football Club today confirms it has signed a three-year deal with global sportswear giant Nike.

Nike, whose existing portfolio of clubs includes Manchester United, Barcelona and Arsenal, will take over from Le Coq Sportif on Everton’s royal blue jersey for the 2012/13 season.

The sports giant will be the official and recognised technical partner on all of Everton’s match kits, which will go on sale later this summer.

The new kit sponsorship deal, negotiated in close collaboration with the Club’s retail and merchandise partner Kitbag, represents Nike’s first association with Everton and will allow the Blues the opportunity to extend their retail opportunities.

Along with the exclusively designed kits for the 2012/13 campaign, Nike will also produce the Club’s official training wear and a Nike Pro Combat range.

Chief Executive Robert Elstone said: “Following all the speculation of the past few months, we are delighted to confirm that Everton is about to kick-off a new, three-year partnership with the world’s leading sportswear brand.

“We’re all excited by the prospect of working with Nike’s design, marketing and retailing teams and look forward to seeing some impressive, original kits and products, as well as being on hand to take advantage of new retail opportunities that we’ll be working with Kitbag to drive forward.

“Nike has an impeccable reputation and we are confident that our supporters will be excited by the new partnership, with all of us looking forward to seeing our new home shirt this summer.”

Marc Van Pappelendam, VP/GM of Nike UK & Ireland, said: “We at Nike are delighted to be entering into this partnership with Everton – they’re a prestigious Club with an illustrious history and we’re looking forward to equipping the team with their playing and training kits.

“Evertonians are renowned for their passion and we are excited about showcasing this in Everton’s range for 2012/13.”

Andy Anson, CEO of Kitbag, added: “We are absolutely delighted to be working with Nike as they become the official partner of Everton. This historic Club deserves to be with the best possible partners and there is no-one more appropriate than Nike.

“We are incredibly excited to be working with the Club and Nike together to create exciting new kits and other sports and fashion products which we hope Everton fans will be proud to wear.”
