Everton boss Allardyce reveals market plans underway: A clearout...?

Everton boss Sam Allardyce has revealed he has drawn up plans for the summer market.

Allardyce's future is on the line at Everton, but he insists he is already planning for next season.

“We'll be out in the market," he told talkSPORT. “I think it'll be a pretty expensive and difficult market again, but we'll have to wheel and deal the best we possibly can and improve the team.

“A clearout is perhaps too strong, but there are players who will generally know and want to leave because they haven't played as much as they wanted to play.

“When you have a squad of about 38 professionals, and you can only fit 25 in your Premier League squad, you know you're running a bit too heavy. So we need to address that."
