Gillingham have rubbished claims Everton are in for their star man Simeon Jackson.

The Canadian international scored 21 goals last season and has already hit the net eight times this campaign.

"It's paper talk, but it is a nice thing to have because it should give him a little boost," Gills manager Mark Stimson told BBC Radio Kent.

"But he won't be sidetracked. The kid is focused and won't be fazed by it."

Stimson added: "He'll just keep doing what he's doing - work hard and get the rewards."
