Sorry Arsenal and Manchester United :eusa_whis
Everton's talented teenage midfielder Jack Rodwell has signed a new five-year deal with the Club.
evertonfc.com reported earlier this week that Everton had reached agreement with the player and the negotiations have subsequently been completed.
Rodwell, 17, is now contracted to the Club until 2014.
He scored his first Everton goal in the 3-1 win over Aston Villa last weekend and received lavish praise from his manager, teammates and the wider football fraternity.
In total, he’s made thirteen appearances this season, seven of which were from the start.
Rodwell is a product of Everton's academy and made his debut last season as a 16-year old. For the first team, he’s been playing as a midfield player having first impressed in the Academy and reserve sides as a central defender.
He's been regularly involved in the first team squad this term.
Blues boss David Moyes was delighted to secure the services of one of the Premier League's brightest talents.
He said: "When we get good young players, we want to sign them up and keep them here. That’s always the way that we have gone about it.
“Jack has got a long way to go and it wasn’t ideal that we had to pitch him in at the start of the season; we threw him in at the deep end.
“He played well in those games at times but we took him away from it for a while to give him a break and let him see what it’s all about.
“But when he came back in against Liverpool he looked really good and he made a big contribution against Aston Villa. The signs from him were positive.”
