Marouane Fellaini admits that his future lies away from Everton – English Premier League
Adding to a summer of controversy, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 as the Belgian international is looking to play in the UEFA Champions League. The Everton player disclosed this information
in his latest interview to the press in which he stated, "One thing is certain, I want to play in a team that wins trophies and play in the Champions League. Everton is a team of sub-top."

arrived at Goodison Park in the summer of 2008 when Moyes successfully agreed an 15 million pound transfer fee with Standard Liege for the defensive midfielder.
Fellaini has become a cult figure amongst Everton’s fans as he has a recognizable afro cut which has been followed up by the club’s fans in shape of wigs and real hair cuts as well. The muscular midfielder has been used as an auxiliary
striker by Moyes on certain occasions but his physical presence makes him a perfect player in the midfield role especially in the English Premier League.
Before deciding on Everton, Moyes was approached by several big European outfits such as Manchester United and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid it still remains to be seen which clubs will be vying for his signature this time around. In a clear statement
of intent via the media, Fellaini has now also entered into a risky situation with his current employers who were about to offer him a new contract recently.
The Belgian playmaker missed the latter part of the season for the Merseyside Blues after suffering a knee injury which required extensive surgery in February, 2011. Last season Everton finished 7th in the English Premier
League which means that they won’t be participating in either the UEFA Champions League or the Europa League.
This has probably had a greater impact on Fellaini’s decision than one would imagine as the 23 year old midfielder now feels that he is destined for greater things with clubs with higher ambitions than Everton. At the present moment
in time, Tottenham Hotspur and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 are being touted up as possible suitors for the Belgian midfielder.
Arsenal are thought to be a better destination given that they finished 4th in the English Premier League securing their place in the qualification stages of the UEFA Champions League. Everton will look to make a profit
on their star playmaker if Fellaini’s set on moving away from the club and a price tag of over 22 million is being thrown around in the media.
Everton might look to replace the outbound Belgian with either http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Owen-Hargreaves-c28918
as they decided against offering the former Bayern Munich star a renewed contract following the Englishman’s history of knee injuries. Nonetheless, Fellaini’s statements now signal towards a start of a long and arduous summer transfer window for the blue half
of Merseyside.
