Everton defender Lars Jacobsen will hold talks over a new deal with David Moyes when he returns from international duty with Denmark.[LNB] The Danes take on Scandinavian rivals Sweden on Saturday in a Group 1 World Cup qualifier as Jacobsen hopes to steer them towards an automatic route to South Africa.[LNB]The full-back has had his first-team opportunities limited through injuries in his debut season at Goodison Park and has had offers from other clubs as his one-year deal nears an end.[LNB]However, Jacobsen insists his wish is to remain at the club and will hold talks with the boss when he returns.[LNB]"Everton comes first for me, if we can find a way to proceed," Jacobsen told Sporten.dk.[LNB]"I've had a meeting with David Moyes and we have arranged for a new meeting after the qualifying game. Then we will see if we can get a new deal in place. [LNB]"Right now I am only concentrating on the qualifier and don't want to waste time and energy on negotiating with Everton before the game is played.[LNB]"The game against Sweden is big, because it's one of my biggest goals in my career to get to a World Cup."[LNB]Other OffersThe 29-year-old has admitted that he has no shortage of admirers and should talks with Everton break down he would be willing to remain in English football.[LNB]"I have other possibilities, both in England and other countries if things don't fall out as I hope with Everton," said Jacobsen.[LNB]"I can see myself playing for another club in Premier League, because I like the mentality and the game."[LNB]Jacobsen was a substitute in last week's FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea, coming on to replace Tony Hibbert at half-time and says despite the loss, he enjoyed the experience.[LNB]He added: "I was really annoyed not to start in the FA Cup final, but I got substituted on at half-time. It was a great experience, even though we lost to Chelsea.[LNB]"90,000 fans at Wembley is something you've only seen on TV before."[LNB]
