GOOD BOY - Mikel Arteta in action for Everton against Manchester United
The Spain midfielder has been linked with the two clubs during the January transfer window but still has three years remaining on his Goodison Park deal. But Everton and Arteta’s advisers are determined to ward off renewed interest in the summer, with clubs in his homeland also monitoring the situation.
Arteta, 26, will get a £10,000-a-week pay rise to £50,000 and has already indicated to boss David Moyes that he is happy at Goodison Park and wants to remain on Merseyside.
The midfielder has completed a remarkable turnaround in his fortunes over the last year. The former Glasgow Rangers player signed for Everton from Real Sociedad for a now bargain £2.5m back in July 2005.
But he was constantly plagued by a back problem until a special course of deep massage in Spain helped him regain his fitness and form.
