Everton does not interest me says CSKA Moscow's Wagner Love

The 24-year-old Brazilian has long been admired by David Moyes, who watched him play at Villa Park on Wednesday in the Uefa Cup last 32 knock-out stage, and could cost up to £12 million. [LNB]But Love, who was the Russian League's top scorer last season, seems unenthused by the interest insisting he would prefer to stay where he is. [LNB]"I am a CSKA player and I am very happy in Moscow," he told the Mirror[LNB]. "This is a club with a big history and I am happy to play here. [LNB]"I have heard about Everton and Manchester City but I have a contract with CSKA and I am happy with that."[LNB]Meanwhile, in the wake of securing the services of Jack Rodwell, who has signed a five-year contract with Everton, Moyes has said he will not push his young midfielder to become an overnight success. [LNB]Comparing the 17-year-old's situation to that of Wayne Rooney's rise from the touh squad, Moyes said: "We are always keen to get our young players signed up, especially if we think they have got a bright future. [LNB]"When you get in, as Jack did at the start of the season, he did okay but we had to take him out because we were not right at the time for him. [LNB]"He's had to sit back for six months and see what has gone on, learn about it while still playing in the reserves and train with the first team and hopefully we will bring him on at the right moments. [LNB]"The one thing I won't do is heap pressure on the players. I didn't do it with the boys we've had at the club before - like Wayne Rooney - I'll keep it quite quiet. [LNB]"He has a chance of being a good player but that comes from development and progression and we won't push him too hard. [LNB]"Hopefully the boy will grow himself without too much pressure and develop into a top player." [LNB]
