Everton: Johnson not for sale
Everton have hit back at reports that West Ham are to make a big-money bid for their star striker Andrew Johnson by insisting the player is not for sale.
The Hammers are reported to be interested in bringing the former Crystal Palace forward back to London, and are said to be prepared to pay between £13-18million for the England man.
But Everton chief executive Keith Wyness was adamant Johnson would remain at Goodison Park.
Wyness told evertonfc.com: “We have had no contact from any club with regard to Andrew Johnson – nor would we welcome any.
“Whilst I feel certain there will be many Premiership clubs who will covet a player of Andrew’s skills and abilities, he is an Everton player and, as he made perfectly clear on several occasions last season, he is very happy to be an Everton player.”
