David Moyes drops himself in it by mooting hidden clause in contract of ‘fantastic’ Everton player
Everton manager David Moyes has issued an insight to James Garner’s current deal on Merseyside.
The Toffees have a number of players who are playing into their final year on their contracts at Everton.
Moyes will be keen to avoid a repeat of this summer, which saw numerous players end up leaving the club at the end of their deals.
Angus Kinnear was handed an unprecedented task at Everton in the summer after making the move over from Leeds United.
The work done during the window has been extremely positive, and the results on the pitch are showing that.
Moyes was delighted with Everton’s transfer business having seen the likes of Jack Grealish added to his squad.
However, the 62-year-old will be wanting the future of players like Garner wrapped up well before next summer’s window opens.

David Moyes drops James Garner contract clue at Everton
In the early stages of the season, Garner has really impressed at Everton, having played out of position at left-back.
Considering some Everton fans questioned Garner last season, it has been quite the start to the new term for the midfielder.
With his contract situation up in the air, Moyes issued a potential clue on Garner’s future when speaking to the media on Friday.
“I don’t know if he’s in the last year of his contract. I’m sure there will be a clause in there where we’ve got him so, I couldn’t even answer that question,” said the 62-year-old.
“We don’t go into clauses,” added Everton’s head of media Andy Neid.
Moyes has raved about Garner this season, who is looking like a completely different player since the new term kicked off.
The Scot will enjoy Garner’s versatility having shone in the absence of Vitaliy Mykolenko, but the pressure is now ramping up following Merlin Rohl’s addition.
