Dan Gosling has LEFT Everton.
The Mirror says Gosling has walked out of Everton for nothing - after the Premier League ruled he was free to quit over an amazing administrative mistake.
Gosling argued that he could leave at the end of his contract without any fee on his head because the Goodison outfit had failed to put an offer in writing to him.
And the Premier League carried out a full inquiry, with statements from both Gosling's camp and Everton, before deciding the Merseyside club had slipped up - with the player allowed to go on a free transfer.
Gosling is recovering from knee ligament surgery and will not be able to play for around three months. However he is now clear to speak to any club and negotiate his own terms.
Sunderland and Newcastle United are heading the chase, with West Ham also alerted about his availability. Gosling told the Premier League tribunal that he has not spoken to any other team, but now he will be heading for a round of talks.
The result is a bitter blow for cash-conscious Everton who will be bitter about the outcome. Senior officials all put their case to the inquiry but one basic mistake has cost them a fortune.
