Andrew Johnson is set to be reassured of his Everton future in the face of another round of speculation suggesting he is up for sale, reports the Liverpool Daily Post.

The 27-year-old became Everton's record signing two years ago when he joined for £8.6million from Crystal Palace but he has been linked with a move away from Goodison Park in every transfer window since.

Current reports are based on manager David Moyes's legitimate concerns that the government could refuse plans for Everton's new stadium and call a public inquiry, thus curtailing the amount of transfer business he can conduct in the summer window.

But offloading Johnson to raise funds is not currently part of his plans despite, if reported interest from Middlesbrough, Aston Villa and West Ham comes to fruition, an offer in the region of £7m could be on the table.
