Fulham right-back Kenny Tete has signed a new deal to keep him at the club until 2028, ending speculation about a move to Everton.
The 29-year-old was out of contract at Craven Cottage and had been expected to join the Toffees.
But he has instead signed a three-year contract with the club he joined in 2020.
Tete said: “I’m really happy to have signed, for myself and for my family, and I hope I can give more for the fans in these three years.
“After my first year I knew this was a family club, a really special club where I can develop. I want to be part of this group and hopefully we can push for more. “
‘Everton to turn to other targets’

Everton were confident negotiations were advancing towards a successful conclusion on a three-year deal of their own for Tete.
Manager David Moyes has made full-back one of his summer priorities after 39-year-old Ashley Young was not offered a new contract, despite veteran captain Seamus Coleman signing a one-year deal to take him into a 17th season at the club.
Tete had emerged as Everton’s main target, but Moyes may now be forced to turn to alternatives that could include free agent Kyle Walker-Peters or his former right-back at West Ham, Vladimir Coufal.
Noel and Liam Gallagher and older brother Paul were cute kids, and magic mum Peggy brought them up well, now new snaps show the brothers as adorable children

They haven’t always seemed so cuddly on stage or when getting into fights on their way to stardom. But here we see the Gallagher brothers Liam, Noel and Paul as loveable kids, in the years growing up before they became rock’n’roll stars who play Cardiff this weekend.
Peggy met compatriot Tommy, originally from County Meath just north of Dublin and they married in Chorlton-on-Medlock in 1965 and initially lived in the inner-city Manchester area of Longsight before moving to Burnage.
They had three children, the oldest being Paul Anthony Gallagher, along with Noel Thomas David Gallagher who was born on May 29, 1967 and much later William John Paul Gallagher, who would become known as Liam, on September 21, 1972.
Looking back, eldest Paul said: “We had bowl heads, knitted jumpers, little shorts. She used to knit our clothes. Imagine you’ve got no choice. You couldn’t say ‘I don’t want that mam’, because she just spent four years knitting your jumper. We were dressed identical. Maybe it was cheaper to do two instead of one. ”

The family later moved to Ashburn Avenue In Burnage shortly after Liam was born. But by now Peggy and Tommy’s relationship was not a good one and in 1984, Peggy left Tommy and took the boys to live in a council house nearby.

On her sons, Peggy recalls: “Liam arrived five and a half years after, I don’t know, I think there was always that bit of jealousy with Liam and Noel, because there was only Paul and Noel for so long, I idolized Paul and Noel because I had only two of them. Noel was absolutely beautiful when he was a baby. Then, of course, Liam came along, takes the limelight. You could tell the disagreement was there with them. ”
Noel insists despite sharing a bedroom with his brother they were not close, so the rivalry was more of a thing once the band began.
He says: “I didn’t hang around with Liam until I joined the band, although I shared a room with him five years as a generation apart all his mates when I was 15. They’re all 10, you know. So that’s massive. I’m leaving school at 15. He’s 10 years old. You’re fucking smoking weed at 15, he’s just out of short pants, so there is no relationship. ”
Liam responded in the film Supersonic by saying: “I think we got on. I think he was a bit of a stoner, a bit of a loner, one of them people that you’d throw stones at. He had a guitar, so he was copping for it, you know what I mean. One of them walking around with his guitar, with his weird mates. Our Paul was a mod, so he had a bit more about him. He wasn’t so weird like Noel was.”
Peggy left her abusive husband and brought the kids up single-handedly. Liam said: “Any good that comes out of me is all from Peggy and all her sisters and brothers. They were a good, close bunch of people. I never miss my father because my mother was both a mother and a father figure. She was there with the cuddle. She was also there with the whack. I’m generalising dad’s there because dads give cuddles as well. but if I needed bringing down she could do that as well as elevate me. ”

Oasis were formed in 1991 when Liam was still a teenager. He remains very close to his mum and took her on holiday earlier this year in the build up to the Oasis comeback.
They will begin the new live tour with two dates in Cardiff this weekend before heading to Manchester, London and Edinburgh.

The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa State, Aliyu Bello, has been suspended by the leadership of his ward.
The suspension is coming hours after the leaders of the party in the state passed a vote of confidence on the chairman in an emergency meeting in Lafia, the state capital.
The chairman of the APC Gayam Ward in Lafia Local Government Area of the state, Ibrahim Ilyasu, disclosed this during a press briefing in Lafia on Tuesday.
He explained that the suspension of the state APC chairman followed a unanimous decision by all the party officials from Gayam Ward, due to an alleged breach of Article 21 of the party’s constitution.

“In line with the powers vested in us as ward executives under Article 21 (D) (i)-(iii) of the APC constitution, and having consulted widely with stakeholders within the ward, we have resolved that you, Hon. Aliyu Bello, are hereby suspended from the All Progressives Congress (APC) with immediate effect.
He alleged that Aliyu Bello was openly indulging in anti-party activities by promoting and campaigning for an aspirant from another political party, which exposed the party to ridicule and disrepute.
“Specifically, we have credible evidence and reports that you have openly promoted and campaigned for a member of another political party, in direct violation of Article 21 (0), (ii), and (vii) which prohibit; engaging in acts that tend to bring the party into hatred, contempt, ridicule or disrepute.
Ilyasu noted that the suspension of the state chairman of the party takes immediate effect and urged him to desist from parading himself as a member of the party from Gayam Ward.
“Your actions have caused embarrassment to the party, undermined the credibility of our collective efforts, and constitute a serious breach of party loyalty and discipline.
“We urge you to refrain from parading yourself as a member or official of the party pending the conclusion of this process.
The party’s Publicity Secretary, Otaru Douglas, had issued a statement within the week to the press alleging a planned and sponsored move to suspend the chairman from the party by one of the state’s governorship aspirants.
