David Moyes, the Everton manager, insists Andrew Johnson will not be leaving Goodison Park this summer.

Reports this morning linked Johnson with a £10 million move away from the club, with Sunderland, Manchester City, Middlesbrough, Aston Villa and West Ham United all reportedly interested in the player.

However, Moyes has denied Johnson is for sale, despite the former Crystal Palace forward becoming increasingly frustrated at his lack of first team opportunities following the arrival of Yakubu in January.

"Andy Johnson is not for sale - it is that simple," Moyes said. "He is a highly-valued member of my senior squad and I look forward to seeing him when the players report back for pre-season training."
