Stephen Hunt
STEPHEN HUNT has alerted Everton to his availability, declaring he wants “a fresh start” away from Reading.
The Irish international winger has been on David Moyes’s radar for some time and with the Royals having failed to win instant promotion back to the Premier League and manager Steve Coppell having departed to be replaced by Watford’s Brendan Rodgers, Hunt is now considering his future at the Berkshire club.
He said: “My own situation is that I am happy at Reading, but in terms of my future, I’ve been loyal to Reading, maybe a fresh start would be good for me and the club.
“I think me and the club agree it is time for a fresh start. I don’t know about that (Everton). I can’t talk about other clubs.”
Back in September, Hunt said he’d been denied a deadline day move to Everton by Reading and felt “wounded” but Coppell denied the claim that there had been a bid.
