After a reported training ground dust-up with manager David Moyes on Wednesday, Everton's Victor Anichebe is determined to set things straight.
Reports suggest that the striker verbally abused Moyes in regards to a blocked bid to Hull.
But Anichebe has come and said that these allegations are untrue.
"I don't want to speak about anything that goes on at the training ground but I will say that I was not verbally abusive to the manager," he told the club's official website.
"The report that was in a newspaper this morning was not right. I didn't row with Steve Round and wasn't escorted from Finch Farm by members of the medical staff.
"I have got great respect for the manager, the coaches, all my team-mates and the supporters and I am embarrassed by the report this morning.
"I'm an Everton player and am proud to be. I want to put this behind me and move on again.
"I want to fight for a place in the team and I want to repay the manager for the faith he has shown in me in the past."
