Silva is reluctant to go public in his eagerness to talk to Everton, as they could lead to a period of gardening leave that may tarnish his long-term reputation for the long-term.
Now Moshiri and Kenwright are set to make a final push to land Silva, with the duo fully aware they cannot wait too much longer to appoint a replacement to Koeman.
While Kenwright is believed to be an admirer of O’Neill, Everton supporters have reacted negatively to the rumours that the Irishman could be installed as the club’s next manager and that could play a factor in the decisions that are made in the coming days.
A lack of credible contenders could yet see Kenwright consider O’Neill, but Silva remains their first choice candidate and Everton will be privately hoping the Watford boss makes a move that could break the deadlock between the two clubs.
