Marco Silva has still not let Phil Jagielka know whether he will be at Everton next season.
Everton defender Phil Jagielka has admitted to the Liverpool Echo that he was disappointed not to find out where his future lies at the weekend.
Jagielka’s Everton contract is due to expire at the end of the season, and he is yet to be offered new terms yet.
With Everton planning to invest in the summer, the 36-year-old could find himself further down the pecking order at Goodison Park.
And Jagielka admits that he is hopeful of speaking to Marco Silva about his future soon.
“We’ve got a lot of players out on loan and a lot of players we may be interested in and I’m sure there is going to be another sizeable turnaround in the summer so you have to be patient,” the £50,000-a-week defender (Daily Star) said.
“I’d would like to have (heard) some concrete stuff yesterday but, at same extent, it’s not playing on my mind too much, it’s case of just getting on with things and hopefully knowing sooner rather than later.”
Jagielka has struggled for game time at Everton this season, but he has come back into Silva’s team more recently.
The experienced defender scored for Everton against Arsenal two weekends’ ago, but he badly struggled in his last appearance.
The Toffees were beaten 2-0 by Fulham at the weekend, and Jagielka just couldn’t get to grips with the game.
Jagielka’s performance is unlikely to have helped his cause to stay, but it remains to be seen whether Silva will keep him around to utilise his experience.
