David Moyes believes Everton will do everything in their power to make sure James Garner extends his future with the club.

Garner, one of the standouts for the Toffees this season, is entering the final six months of his current deal. Despite recent reports suggesting that the Everton management are in discussions with Garner’s camp over a new deal, speculation has also been ripe about a potential transfer.

Moyes, however, put an end to the speculations that the Birkenhead-born midfielder might be signed on a free transfer at the end of the season.

"Look, I wouldn't be letting [Garner] go and I think the Club will do everything they can to make sure that he stays," said the Everton boss.

"It's probably a bit of a difference and shows signs [of progression] because I'm not sure many clubs have been after many Everton players in the past but now they're maybe starting to take a bit of interest, which is a good sign.

"Hopefully he signs a new contract when the time comes but at the end of the season he's got an option [of an extra year extension] as well so, obviously, we'll be on that, if we need to be."

It is interesting how Moyes’ tries to make things about himself in a sly way:

“……I'm not sure many clubs have been after many Everton players in the past but now they're maybe starting to take a bit of interest, which is a good sign”

Hello! We sold Onana, Gordon, Richarlison, Iwobi all for good sums of money quite recently. So what he is saying is just not true.
