Interesting read in Martin Tyler's blog on the Sky Sports website. He mentions a former Man City player Tony Henry being in a "Frank Arnersen" role at the club.
After a google I found that he is also an agent/scout and once tried to sign Christiano Ronaldo for Liverpool for £4million, a week later he was at Man Utd for £12million.
Apparently our head scout is a guy called Robbie Cooke. So at the very least we have three people at the Euros all scouting for Everton (Moyes is other one).
Robbie Cooke
Born: Rotherham
Dob: 16th February 1957
Position: Head Scout
Tony Henry
Born: Newcastle
Dob: 26th November 1957
Sporting Director/Scout
Now here's some information, about Robbie Cooke, to put things into perspective for you.
Ex-player Robbie Cooke played for Millwall, Peterborough, Cambridge and Kettering. When I moved down to East Anglia in the 1990s he had finished his playing career and was working for Thomas Cook in Peterborough. He was co-managing a team, Warboys, in a local league. Subsequently, he moved to Kettering as assistant manager before joining Moyes as Cheif Scout at Everton.
Now tell me, what credentials does Robbie Cooke have for scouting top class players? British players, perhaps - but continental players? Come on!

Did he spot Kroldrup maybe?
