LARS JACOBSEN wants to stay at Everton – provided he can play regular first-team football.

The Denmark international has endured an injury-hampered campaign since signing a 12-month contract at Goodison after leaving German side Nuremburg.

Right-back Jacobsen dislocated his shoulder playing for his country before even having the chance to pull on an Everton shirt, and has since subsequently struggled to break into the senior team.

The 29-year-old had to wait until March for his debut at Portsmouth and has since made only two further appearances.

However, Jacobsen has impressed during his brief outings with David Moyes praising the Dane’s performance in the goalless draw at Chelsea last week.

And while revealing there is interest in his signature from other clubs, Jacobsen has expressed a desire to sign a new deal at Goodison in the summer.

“I am keeping all options open,” he said. “We will see what happens. There are some clubs that are interested but I will not think about that just yet.

“I am really, really happy to be here, there is no doubt that if I could play regularly I would like to stay at Everton.

“It is a fantastic club and we have a really fine squad.
