Heitinga not unsettled at Everton

Johnny Heitinga says he is happy at Everton, rubbishing claims that he is looking to quit the club.

The 27-year old Dutch defender has appeared in 20 of the Toffees' Premier League games this season but has fallen to the subs bench in recent times.

Reports suggest that the Holland international may look to depart Goodison Park in the summer but he has poured cold water on that talk.

"All I can say is that I love playing at Everton and I love playing for the manager," he told the club's official website.

"I am not happy when I am not playing but I haven't met many footballers who are happy when they're not involved.

"The manager has told all the players here that we will get playing time and it's up to us to make the most of it and to take the opportunity.

"I am nothing less than 100% committed to Everton Football Club and will continue to be the same every time I play."
