Everton skipper Neville flattered by Tottenham interest

Everton captain Phil Neville says it was nice to be wanted by a club like Tottenham but insists he is happy at his current club.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp made it clear that he was keen on Neville by putting in a few various offers for the Toffees skipper but they were all rejected by the club.

Neville told Everton's official website that he was honoured but not interested as he remains committed to the Goodison Park cause.

"It is always flattering to be linked with a club like Spurs, but there is only one man who makes the decision and that is David Moyes," he said.

"The bid has been turned down so let's get on with the football. I am the Everton captain and I love playing for this club. The fans have accepted me and I have taken them to my heart.

"I love it here and when you enjoy playing for a club like I do for Everton, then you are happy to leave everything in the hands of the manager."
