ඣPhil Jagielka is reportedly training with Burnley to keep up his fitness – and some Everton fans on Twitter are not pleased that their former player is not training with them.

🌳The 36-year-old defender became a free agent this summer after exiting the Toffees and he spent 12 years as a player at Goodison Park.

🌼He’s yet to be snapped up by a new club, but the reports that he is training with Burnley.

෴It is understood that Burnley aren’t interested in signing the centre-back, but are allowing him to keep up fitness as his search for a new team continues.

🌟Jagielka is a veteran defender that turns 37 in August, but was a brilliant servant on Merseyside and a key figure as captain for a large spell of that.

༺He still impressed in the seven first-team appearances he made last season for Marco Silva’s side and it looks like he will continue playing.
