Everton are determined to hang on to defender Phil Jagielka after it was reported that Arsenal are about to bid for the defender. The Gunners were recently believed to have had a bid of £14m turned down, and Everton Hospitality Packages website claims that they are ready to return to Goodison Park with an improved offer for the former Sheffield United man.
The north London club recently signed defender Laurent Koscielny, but the non-committal nature of Sol Campbell coupled with the departures of William Gallas and Mikael Silvestre are believed to have left manager Arsene Wenger in the hunt to sign another defender.
Everton boss David Moyes is thought to be keen to hold on to the player, but it has been speculated that the lure of Champions League football could prove difficult to resist for Jagielka.
