Phil Jagielka 300[LNB]EVERTON insist they have absolutely no intention of selling Phil Jagielka.[LNB]Weekend reports claim a host of top clubs, including Arsenal and Manchester United, are ready to swoop for the Blues central defender.[LNB]The message from Everton, however, is simple; do not bother.[LNB]Jagielka has been one of the Premier League's most consistent centre-halves since joining Everton from Sheffield United three years ago and has become an England international since moving to Goodison Park.[LNB]Despite missing out on Fabio Capello's provisional 30-man World Cup squad last week, the 28-year-old is still regarded as one of the most improved defenders in the country.[LNB]Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger, is thought to see Jagielka as an ideal partner for Thomas Vermaelen if, as expected, William Gallas leaves on a free transfer this summer.[LNB]United manager, Alex Ferguson is also thought to be an admirer of the versatile player who can also play at full-back and in midfield.[LNB]But any approach for Jagielka will be strongly resisted by Everton.
