Niclas Alexandersson has made a flying start to pre-season, according to David Moyes.

The 31-year-old winger only made seven appearances in the Premiership last season, but has impressed the Goodison Chief in the ten days of training so far.

Most of the lads have looked bright and sharp, but Niclas is looking in particularly good condition," said Moyes.

"I think he has benefited from having his first real summer's break for a while, with no international commitments, and he has been the most impressive so far."

Alexandersson, a EU$2.5m signing from Sheffield Wednesday in the year 2000, has been a regular for Sweden throughout his Goodison career, but did not feature in any of their European qualifiers this summer.
