The Mirror reports that Rondon has courted interest from Pro League outfit Sharjah - the same club former Toffees forward Bernard joined last summer.

The UAE's transfer deadline is later today, with midfielder Allan being granted a switch to Al-Wahda last week.

However, it is reported that Rondon has ‘turned down’ a move to the Middle East - and will remain at Goodison Park.

The 33-year-old as been down the pecking order at Everton this season and is into the final campaign of a two-year deal.

Summer arrival Neal Maupay has been favoured by Frank Lampard, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin will leapfrog Rondon once deemed available for selection following a knee injury.

Rondon did come off the bench late in Everton's 2-1 defeat of Southampton on Saturday.

But he's started just two games so far in 2022-23, with Anthony Gordon instead being used as a makeshift striker at times.

Rondon signed for Everton in August 2021 from Chinese outfit Dalian.

In total, he has scored three goals in 28 appearances for the Blues.
