Arsenal target Jagielka only thinking of success with Everton

Phil Jagielka insists he's happy at Everton.

Jagielka's future is one being discussed intently at the moment, with Everton having rejected two bids from Arsenal for the defender's services.

The 28-year-old, however, is happy just to be focusing on the new season, and says he hopes to help the club return to Europe.

"We'd like to push for Europe, of course," Jagielka told the Liverpool Daily Post. "The season is still a little bit away, so hopefully we will do a bit of wheeling and dealing before then.

"But if not, we have proven today that we have got a decent squad. The gaffer changed it round quite a bit - there were only 4 or 5 starters in this game that started against Philadelphia - and it worked well.

"Hopefully, if we can all stay fit and healthy, it can be an exciting season for us."
