""I wouldn't be letting [Garner] go and I think the Club will do everything they can to make sure that he stays," said Moyes. "It's probably a bit of a difference and shows signs [of progression] because I'm not sure many clubs have been after many Everton players in the past but now they're maybe starting to take a bit of interest, which is a good sign.""
""Hopefully he signs a new contract when the time comes but at the end of the season he's got an option [of an extra year extension] as well, so, obviously, we'll be on that, if we need to be.""
James Garner joined Everton from Manchester United in 2022 and has become a key first-team player. The 24-year-old has started all 18 Everton matches this season and has logged 1,614 minutes, second only to James Tarkowski. Garner has played both full-back positions and his preferred midfield role, scoring once, providing two assists and creating 18 chances, behind only Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish among teammates. Garner is out of contract at season's end with a one-year option, and Premier League rivals have shown interest. David Moyes intends to keep Garner and the club will seek to secure a new deal. Garner was substituted late at Chelsea to protect him from a booking that could trigger suspension amid squad absences for AFCON and an injury to Dewsbury-Hall.
