Everton goalkeeper Jan Mucha could be on his way out of Goodison Park in
the summer when his contract expires. The former Slovakia international signed 
for the Toffees three years ago from Legia Warszawa, but only played his first 
Premier League game for the club earlier this month against Reading.
Since then he has played three consecutive games as cover for Tim Howard
and has been in good form, keeping a clean sheet against Manchester City
last weekend. Everton won that game 2-0, strengthening their grip on sixth 
position in the Premier League.

Satisfied
The goalkeeper said, as reported by Sky Sports: “I’m glad that I’ve got a
chance to be in goal.

“There have been positive reviews on my performances but I’m most
satisfied about the fact that we won both league games.
“The bad FA Cup fixture (against Wigan Athletic) will make me sorry for a
long time yet but, on the other hand, it’s nice to look at the Premier
League table.
“We are quite high and close to the Champions League qualification spots.
“There are not many games left to be played in this season, so I believe
we will manage to stay there.”

Options
But Mucha’s contract expires this summer and Everton are still undecided
on whether to extend it or let him go.

His performances in recent games may have persuaded them to give the
Slovakian a new deal, although it appears unlikely he will be able to oust
Howard as the club’s regular number one.

The player’s agent Jozef Tokos, who is in talks with David Moyes over
Mucha’s future, told sport.aktuality.sk: “There are a number of options at
the moment.

“He may reach an agreement with a new club during the season, which is
legitimate according to FIFA.

“At the moment I cannot say more than that there are clubs interested in
him. Naturally, he can make an agreement after the season as well.

“As for Everton, there is no chance an agreement will be made during the
season.

“It is publicly known that the current manager David Moyes announced that
he would not yet sign an extension and that the club would be negotiating
it only after the season.

“I had a very useful meeting with Mr Moyes last week but at the moment I
cannot reveal anything about what we discussed.”
