Fonseca to clarify his future “in a few days”

The Portuguese has consistently been the subject of speculation linking him with Everton ever since the Blues approached him about becoming Ronald Koeman's long-term successor last November.

Shakhtar refused to allow the 45-year-old to leave at the time but with his contract now up, Fonseca is free to take up a new position.

The Ukrainian club have reportedly offered him a bumper €9m contract to extend his stay with them while West Ham have emerged in recent days as potential suitors with David Moyes's own contract up at the London Stadium.

“In the coming days you'll know about my future," Fonseca apparently told a news conference this weekend after Shakhtar landed the domestic league and cup double again under his stewardship. "I'm happy here, because we won everything, but in few days you'll have news.”

A decision from Everton over the future of Sam Allardyce is also expected at some stage this week. The indications recently have been that the unpopular manager took charge of his last match as the Blues lost 3-1 to West Ham on Sunday and that he will be relieved his duties with a year left on his contract.

Meanwhile, Sport Witness also pass on the news that talk of Sérgio Conceiçà£o being an Everton target has cooled since it was first reported last week.

Instead, it appears as though Porto are preparing an offer of improved terms for the 43-year-old.
