Moyes to decide on duo
David Moyes has hinted that he could keep Lars Jacobsen and Segundo Castillo beyond the end of the season.
Jacobsen joined Everton from Nurnberg last summer but his contract expires next month, while Segundo Castillo is set to return to Red Star Belgrade following a season-long loan deal.
Neither player has figured too heavily for the Toffees this term but Moyes insists he does rate them both highly.
Jacobsen and Castillo both impressed in the goalless draw with Chelsea last week and the Everton boss is now eager to resolve the situation.
"Maybe I could keep them," Moyes told the Liverpool Echo.
"It's certainly something I'm looking at. I always felt they were not bad players. It's just maybe the time wasn't right to play them.
"But we put them in a big game last week and they showed us what they are - international footballers. They are no mugs, they are good players."
Jacobsen has previously admitted that the uncertainty surrounding his future has affected him, but he has now made it clear that he would consider staying on Merseyside.
"I am keeping all options open," said the Danish defender.
"We will see what happens. There are some clubs that are interested but I will not think about that just yet.
"I am really happy to be here, There is no doubt that if I could play regularly I would like to stay at Everton.
"It is a fantastic club and we have a really fine squad."
Red Star are set to demand a hefty fee for Castillo and Moyes accepts the circumstances are different for the Ecuadorian midfielder.
"It's a serious consideration," said Moyes. "The big point is that I think there is a fee of £4.5m for Castillo. That would be something we would have to think about.
"With Lars, it is different because he is our player and we are watching him. There have been moments where Casty has done well.
"After the first 15 or 20 minutes at Chelsea when he was a bit nervy, I thought he came on to have a really good game. But there were a few who were like that."
