Victor Anichebe 300[LNB]EVERTON are determined to settle Victor Anichebe's future - and avoid a repeat of the transfer row which saw Dan Gosling join Newcastle United.[LNB]The 22-year-old forward is entering the final six months of his current contract, and as yet no new deal has been signed.[LNB]Anichebe is understood to have several clubs, both in the Premier League and abroad, monitoring his situation, having only narrowly missed out on Nigeria's World Cup squad this summer.[LNB]Now David Moyes is set to tie down the attacker to a new long-term deal, in a bid to avoid losing him for nothing like Gosling.[LNB] Anichebe, who has come through the ranks at Goodison, can leave for nothing at the end of the season if a new deal cannot be agreed.[LNB]Everton would be due a sizeable compensation fee if Anichebe moved to another English side, but if he was to go abroad he would be available for a cut-price fee.[LNB]That is understood to have alerted several foreign clubs, aware they could be able to seize a bargain.[LNB]Meanwhile, Marouane Fellaini has vowed to learn from the red card against Bolton Wanderers which led him to miss Everton's last three games.
