Midfielder wanted at Bridge

Everton are bracing themselves as Chelsea are preparing a major summer move for Marouane Fellaini and are ready to offer £22m.

The last thing David Moyes wants to do is to weaken the side which has done so well since the turn of the year, he would much rather spend his summer strengthening the squad. An offer of £22m would be exceptionally difficult to turn down though as it would give Moyes money of his own to spend in the transfer market and it could also mean he would will be able to keep hold of Manchester United target Jack Rodwell. It is common knowledge that Blues owner Roman Abramovich is planning a huge squad overhaul at the end of the season and Fellaini is the latest player to be linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. The Belgian midfielder has impressed in the Premier League ever since signing for Everton from Standard Liege back in 2008 and at the age of 24 he is just the kind of player that Abramovich wants to bring in. Moyes may have to decide on which of his most sought after midfielder's he allows to leave, Fellaini or Rodwell.
