Everton Football Club are favourites to take Matthew Kilgallon in the summer.

The defender is in the final six months of his contract at Sheffield United, who have ruled out a sale during the winter as they look to make a bid for promotion from the Championship.

But if the Blades fail to land Premier League football next season then Kilgallon will leave Bramall Lane, and there are no shortage of interested parties.

Newcastle United have already failed with an offer whilst Hull City are also keen, but reports suggest the Toffees are favourites to clinch his signature.

David Moyes has already raided United for Phil Jagielka, and he would love to add Kilgallon, formerly of Leeds United, to his ranks at Goodison Park.
