Toffees look to keep Jacobsen
Everton are planning to offer a contract extension to Danish full-back Lars Jacobsen.
The 29-year-old joined the Toffees as a free agent last summer, penning a 12-month deal upon his arrival on Merseyside.
Having initially struggled to force his way into David Moyes' plans due to injury, there appeared to be little hope that he would be able to win an extension to his current terms.
However, upon being awarded his debut in March, Jacobsen proved to be a useful asset for Everton during the closing stages of the 2008/09 campaign.
He was awarded a second half run-out in the FA Cup final against Chelsea in May and helped to nullify the threat posed by Florent Malouda down the left wing.
That performance has helped to convince Moyes that he is deserving of a new contract, with talks set to commence in the coming weeks.
Happy
"Everton wish to renew the contract," Jacobsen's agent, Karsten Aabrink, told Ekstra Bladet.
"There will be no contact, though, until the start of July."
Jacobsen is hoping an agreement can be reached, admitting he now feels settled at Goodison Park.
"It is very positive that after a turbulent season I have proven to the right people at Everton that I should be part of the team for the future," he said.
"I am really happy at Everton, but we will have to wait for people to get back from their holidays before we can sort anything out."
