MAROUANE FELLAINI last night pledged his future to Everton.

The Belgian midfielder is on a red-hot scoring streak of five goals in five games and has eight so far this season.

Fuzzy-haired Fellaini is under contract until 2016 but has been linked with a January move and mega-rich trio Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris St Germain are all in the frame.

Everton host Spurs today and are dreaming of a return to Europe for the first time since the 2009-10 season.

Fellaini, 25, said: “My head is exclusively with Everton — I’m saying nothing about all the rumours.

“Although I’m happy to be praised for my performances, my future is with Everton.

“I’m on a good run and I want that to continue against Spurs.

“We are playing well enough to fight for a European place, even the Champions League, but we must retain this rhythm all season.

“It won’t be easy but we want to do it — our fans deserve to have some more big European nights.

“I am pleased with my current form. There’s no secret to it — it’s a combination of luck, work and good positioning in the penalty area.

“I do what the forwards do… and score goals!”

Team-mate Steven Pienaar is backing Fellaini to stay.

Pienaar said: “He’s enjoying his game and is clever enough not to go. There’s a lot of speculation but he’s still contracted to the club.”

But the big question is — will Fellaini ever trim his hair?

He added: “I’m not thinking about changing my style for years.

“I get many letters from fans asking about my hair and requests about how they should care for their own hair.”

Toffees fans can rest assured that with Fellaini it is a case of hair today, here tomorrow…
