Lee Carsley began his career with the Rams (Getty)

Derby County manager Paul Jewell said he will not be commenting on speculation linking him with a move for Everton's Lee Carsley.

The 34-year-old former Rams midfielder has been widely tipped for a return to Pride Park this summer.

However Jewell told BBC Radio Derby: "It would be unwise and unfair to comment on players from other teams."

Carsley is out of contract with the Goodison Park club at the end of the current season.
