Foxes, Saints & Forest fail in move for striker
Everton boss David Moyes has admitted they have rejected three bids for striker Jermaine Beckford.
Leicester are one of the clubs who had bid for Beckford, while
skysports.com understands Southampton and Nottingham Forest are the two other sides to make offers for the former Leeds man.
As revealed by
skysports.com earlier this week, Beckford is believed to be happy to stay at Everton and plans to remain at Goodison Park despite the interest in his services.
Moyes has admitted the offers they have received for Beckford have come nowhere near their valuation of the player.
"We had a £2million bid from Leicester - we have had an offer from three clubs for Jermaine - but we've not had one offer which we consider coming close to what Jermaine is worth," said Moyes.
Moyes admits he would be prepared to sell some of his stars for the right price due to the club's ongoing financial problems.
Everton chairman Bill Kenwright admitted earlier this week the Toffees had reached their credit limit with the banks.
No selling club
However, Moyes insists he will not be held to ransom by clubs who think they can take advantage of their financial predicament.
"I brought all the players here - everyone by me. I have a responsibility to them," added Moyes.
"There is not a club in the country who does not have a price for every player and if we got an offer big enough I would have to sell.
"But at the moment no-one has come in with an offer which has come close to making me consider it.
"I am not going to become a selling club, I am not here to do that, I am here to build a strong team and no-one will go unless I say so.
"If I get an offer which is right of course I will [sell].
"I would never put Everton in jeopardy and if we were getting in the situation one or two other clubs have got in then obviously I would have to do something but we are not in that situation."
