The Canadian's contract expires in 18 months, and he is keen to sign a new deal to keep him at Goodison for the forseeable future. However, Everton have yet to respond to his request to open talks on a new deal.
Aston Villa, Blackburn and a number of Spanish clubs are known to be interested in him. Also to be considered is his age (if memory serves he will be 30 by the end of the season, please correct me if i'm wrong), and the £3m that has been mooted would be enough to buy Jeffers from Arsenal come June.
Food for thought.
