Everton have not dropped their interest in Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart.

The Sun says Everton boss Ronald Koeman did claim he had no interest in City and England keeper Hart.

But his staff have been trying to find a buyer for Spaniard Joel Robles, who can go for £6million, with Black Cats chief David Moyes being sounded out over a swap deal for defender Lamine Kone.

The Toffees would use the money from a Robles sale to either buy Hart from City or take him on loan.

They prefer the latter option, but the Manchester giants are not so sure about that idea.
