He said: “Anything is possible at this stage and I’m going to make the decision that’s best for me. We hear little bits and pieces here and there and there have certainly been clubs that are interested, but right now, it’s only preliminary.”

Meanwhile, Phil Jagielka will not play a part in Everton’s friendly against Norwich City at Carrow Road today after he reported a soreness in his knee.

The defender, who underwent cruciate knee ligament reconstruction surgery last year, has played four games consecutively in pre-season, and David Moyes will not take any risks after he reported a twinge after training this week and is also without Leon Osman and Victor Anichebe.

Moyes said: “Phil Jagielka might miss the game as well because he has a little bit of a problem with his knee but overall we aren’t looking too bad. I think there’s a couple of them who are a little bit further ahead. Pienaar, Yobo, Yakubu and Mucha look like they need a bit more training but Tim Cahill – I think because he had a couple of games and did a bit of training in Australia – he’s a little bit ahead of them.

“They aren’t really ready to play but I am not sure if I am going to consider them yet.”

Elsewhere, Seamus Coleman has been selected for the Republic of Ireland’s Under-21s squad to face Estonia on Tuesday, August 10.
