Francis Jeffers has conceded that he was wrong to leave Everton for Arsenal in 2001, with the opportunity to join a Premier League heavyweight coming “too soon” for him.
Now back at Goodison Park as part of the coaching staff, Jeffers was considered to be a hot prospect when the Gunners acquired him from the Toffees for £8 million.
Arsene Wenger billed him as “the fox in the box” Arsenal needed to complement a star-studded array of attacking talent.
