Everton boss Moyes insists no plans to sell Jelavic

Everton boss David Moyes has no plans to sell Nikica Jelavic.

Reports persist he will quit Everton in the summer with a number of clubs interested.

But Everton boss David Moyes insisted ahead of today's clash with Fulham that Jelavic is going nowhere.

Moyes said: "His effort has never been in question and we'd want him here next year. It's been a difficult season - maybe a bit of second- season syndrome.

"He's found it a little harder to get the goals and the opportunities.

"We kept trying to play him to give him the chance to score but in the end we had to take him out. As it is, Victor Anichebe has come to light in the last month or so which has given us a wee bit of something else."
