Everton midfielder Jose Baxter is in line for a move away in January.

The former Sheffield United star has rebuilt his career with a stint at Everton after a long drugs ban.

Everton handed Baxter a 12 month deal in the summer and after announcing their intention to give the Bootle midfielder a career lifeline, David Unsworth said: “He will be given the same opportunities as everyone else.

"If that means he moves on to a Championship club or League One club later on, that will be down to Jose."

Such has been his form, Baxter is already interesting Fleetwood Town and Oldham Athletic, says the Liverpool Echo.
