Everton are not expecting to pursue a deal for Vladimir Stojkovic following the goalkeeper's brief visit to Merseyside.

 

Stojkovic was due to train with Everton with a view to moving to Goodison Park on a season-long loan from Sporting Lisbon.

 

However, the Serbian stayed just over an hour before leaving and the Toffees are now likely to shelve plans to make an offer.

 

"He was at the club on Wednesday, but left after only one hour," Everton's head of public relations Ian Ross told the club's official website.

 

"He did not justify anything to anybody and he is most probably not going to join us.

 

"We have been told that he is a complicated character, but this surprised us."

 

Toffees manager David Moyes is looking for a keeper to provide Tim Howard with competition following Stefan Wessels' departure at the end of last season.

 

What's the betting he was told he was going to sign for a club in Liverpool and he thought it was us?

I reckon he took one look at the catholic church in the corner and bolted towards the airport.

Tim Howard probably told him to "f*** off"

Apparently he ran out screaming following his first face to face with the manager. He'd only seen pictures of him on his laptop before, which were highly complimentary compared to the skeletal, boggle eyed horrors of him up close...
