Everton star Marouane Fellaini has said that although he’d prefer to stay with the Toffees at Goodison Park, he wants to win trophies and play in the Champions League, which may not be possible at his current club and he may be tempted to switch as the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City are interested.

Fellaini told the BBC’s Football Focus:

“When I came here, I played an FA Cup final against Chelsea, I lost. Last year I played [a] semi-final [and] lost, and so I hope to win something this year.

“But also I want to play [in the] Champions League, if it’s possible with Everton. But if not, with another team. But I want to play [in the] Champions League.”

In recent seasons they’ve mostly suffered slow starts and seem to take a few months to get going, but this year David Moyes’ side have shown great form in their first 11 matches and are currently sitting in fourth spot in the Premier League, and they’d hope they’ll fight for that spot alongside the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham throughout the season. But this will not stop clubs going in for Fellaini in January, would you take him at Chelsea if he’s interested?

I think it depends on what the manager has planned for him as he’s flourished since Moyes opted to play him further up the park for Everton, so it wouldn’t make sense to put him back in midfield alongside John Obi Mikel or Ramires in our current formation, even though it won’t hurt to have the option. But he’ll come at a cost and if you’re going to break the bank for a player then you have to play him in his best position.

The Belgian has been instrumental to Everton’s success so far this season, particularly in the win against Manchester United, and has scored six goals.

    thats crap, he’s a DMF and now due to lack of squad depth everton use him as an Ss and now thats his favourite position so i gues the likes benteke or lukaku would sit on the bench and watch a DMF play in their position, i dont think so, if essien makes his loan switch permanent which i hope for and lampard moves to a new club, the chelsea should waste no time and snatch him up, he’s a box to box midfielder and thats his best position, him and mikel/ramires would a though midfield to break. any amount within 15mil-35mil(pound) totally fit the bill and would be totally worth it.

    Fellaini will replace the ageing legs of Lampard but his senses are still very young, though he is my legend, nothing will shoot out my love for him. Just imagine Mikel, Rami, Fellaini fighting for position wow its gonna be hot. And we should not forget to sign any good striker in january not just big name anyone can serve imagine Chicharito, oh! my God this guy burned my heart yesterday evening.

    I am big fan of this person, I am big chlesea fan, I like big banners to and to wave them and sing our songs. Please sign this man, I hope we win Liverpool today as they always have many big banners too. I think we win despite their foreign fans fill their end.
