Jagielka in line for China switch

Everton defender Phil Jagielka has been linked with a move to the Chinese Super League, according to the Express.

The thirty-three year old is the latest in a long line of players to be eyed by the noveau riche division, and could secure a move there next season.

His current contract runs until the summer of 2018, though the Toffees do have adequate cover in summer signing Ramiro Funes Mori, who has impressed when deputising for the England international this season.

Jagielka moved to Goodison Park in the summer of 2007 and has since racked up over three hundred appearances for the club, scoring fifteen goals.

He has an FA Cup runners-up medal from when the Toffees were beaten by Chelsea in the 2009 final, while he has been capped thirty-eight times for his country as was part of their squads for the 2012 European Championships in Ukraine and Poland and the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
