Matthew Kilgallon is believed to favour a move to Everton Football Club.

The defender is currently plying his trade in the Championship with Sheffield United, but his contract will expire in the summer and he is unlikely to agree new terms.

The Blades are refusing to budge on the valuation they have set for the player, and this fee is believed to have recently been met by Premier League strugglers Burnley.

However, it is understood Kilgallon, 25, has rejected a move to Turf Moor, with the Daily Mail claiming he has set his heart on a free transfer move to Goodison Park.

United reportedly want just £1.75million for the former Leeds United player, and with Lucas Neill moving to Galatasaray, there is a chance the Toffees could even make a bid this month.
