Everton ace to discuss future with Ronald Koeman as West Ham and Sunderland consider moves
EVERTON captain Phil Jagielka is reportedly set for talks with the club's hierarchy to discuss his future.
Phil Jagielka has lost his first-team place this season
The 34-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at Everton this season, making just two appearances since the start of December.
He's even been overlooked when Ronald Koeman has played five at the back, with youngster Mason Holgate favoured alongside Ramiro Funes Mori and Ashley Williams in the heart of defence.

And, according to the Daily Mail, Jagielka is set to discuss his future at Everton with West Ham and Sunderland said to be lining up January moves.

While Sunderland have apparently been keeping tabs on Jagielka since the summer, when there were reports of a part-exchange deal for Lamine Kone.
Toffees manager Koeman is understood to be in the market to replace Jagielka with a young centre-back either this month or in the summer.
Jagielka, who has won 40 cap for England, arrived at Goodison Park in 2007 from Sheffield United in a deal worth around £4million.
