CHASE THE ACE

Moyes says Toffees hold all the cards on Jarrad future

- by DAVID ANDERSON

DAVID MOYES insists he does not want to lose Jarrad Branthwaite this summer and claims Everton are in a strong position when it comes to the defender.

Moyes (below) cashed in on Wayne Rooney, Joleon Lescott and Thomas Gravesen during his first spell as Toffees boss to finance his spending.

But Everton rejected a £50m offer from Manchester United for Branthwaite last summer and Moyes says the Merseyside club are in a strong position to keep him.
