Everton's hopes of landing Dennis Geiger in the January transfer window have suffered a setback after the midfielder revealed that he is in talks over a new deal with Hoffenheim.
Sky Germany had claimed that the Blues were lining up a bargain deal for the 24-year-old, who is out of contract in the summer. But he now looks set to stay with the Bundesliga club, providing terms can be agreed over a fresh contract.
Speaking to Kicker, Geiger said: “We are in talks (over a new deal). I feel extremely comfortable at Hoffenheim. I don’t need to repeat that every two weeks! Everyone who works more closely with me here knows how much I enjoy what I do. And how much fun I have with the team and the staff.
