Everton won’t make transfer decision on Jagielka in January – opinion

Everton defender Phil Jagielka is out of contract next summer and is unlikely to be offered a new deal at Goodison Park given his lack of playing time this season. The 36-year-old has been a terrific servant for the Toffees, but now he finds himself behind Michael Keane, Kurt Zouma, Yerry Mina and Mason Holgate in the pecking order.

Jagielka is likely to be linked with a number of clubs in January, potentially in the form of short-term loan moves, but it appears more likely that Everton will retain his services for the remainder of the campaign.
