Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic and West Ham United are reportedly interested in Everton youngster Tom Davies.

Tom Davies of Everton arrives before the Premier League match between Manchester City and Everton at the Etihad Stadium on December 15, 2018 in Liverpool, England.

Everton manager Marco Silva has told The Guardian that reported Celtic and West Ham United target Tom Davies will not leave the club in the January transfer window.

According to The Daily Mail, West Ham and Celtic are interested in signing Davies from Everton in January.

It has been reported that both the Hoops and the Hammers have made enquiries regarding the availability of the 20-year-old central midfielder.

Everton boss Silva, though, has made it clear that he will not let the England Under-21 international midfielder – who earns £25,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – leave Goodison Park on loan in January.

Silva told The Guardian regarding Davies leaving Everton on loan: “No way. Impossible. No way.

“Tom is part of our squad. He is an important player for me and an important player for us as a club. He is the present and the future of our club.”

Good decision

Davies is struggling for playing time at Everton at the moment, but there is no doubt that the midfielder has a bright future ahead of him.

Everton are aiming for Europe, and manager Silva will need the 20-year-old to contribute to the team in the second half of the season.

It would make sense for the Toffees to keep hold of Davies and not let him leave on loan in the January transfer window.
