Gosling free to find new club
Everton's Dan Gosling is free to join another club after an independent hearing ruled the midfielder no longer has a contract with the Toffees.[LNB] The 20-year-old's deal expired at the end of last month and although the Toffees had made a verbal offer to the player they had not put it in writing.[LNB]That meant Gosling could leave Goodison Park without Everton being entitled to a fee despite him being under 21, which usually triggers some sort of compensation for the work the club have invested in his coaching.[LNB]The case went to the Premier League and a panel ruled in the player's favour.[LNB]"An independent hearing, convened under Premier League Rules, was held last week to look into the contractual status of Dan Gosling," said a statement released by the Premier League.[LNB]"Having looked into the matter, and considered the arguments of both Everton and the player, it was determined that the player is unattached and entitled to a free transfer.[LNB]"This is subject to a right of appeal by Everton which must be brought within 14 days of the decision."[LNB]Everton refused to comment on the case or their next course of action.[LNB]Gosling, whose former club Plymouth Argyle would have been due a further £250,000 in transfer fees should he have made just three more appearances for the Toffees, has been linked with a switch to Newcastle.
