Toffees set to land targetChampionship club Sheffield United have admitted that star midfielder Phil Jagielka is likely to move to Everton this summer.
Blades chairman Terry Robinson told the club's official website: "If Sheffield United are reinstated, it's highly unlikely that Phil will leave. If we're not reinstated, then he'll invoke the clause in his contract.
"He (Phil) does want to play Premier League football.
"Phil has a high regard for Sheffield United as we all know, but sometimes it's your own career advancement that comes before other things.
"Everton are the favourites - it is Phil's preferred choice. Wigan and Bolton have shown some interest in him, as have Everton."
