Everton boss David Moyes turned down the chance to sign new Fulham defender Philippe Senderos.
The Liverpool Daily Post says Moyes has declined the opportunity to sign Senderos after the defender joined Fulham yesterday.
Senderos arrived at Everton in January with the club taking over the remaining six months of his contract from Arsenal.
The Switzerland international was keen to win a permanent move to Goodison but a combination of injury problems and the return to fitness of Phil Jagielka meant he was restricted to just three appearances.
And that was not enough to convince Moyes, the Everton manager opting not to pursue a free transfer for the player who will now move to Fulham after the World Cup.
