Everton boss Ronald Koeman insists they're under no pressure to sell their best players.

Both Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku are being linked with moves away this summer.

But Koeman says: “A lot is possible here and we want to bring in the best players we can get – players who will help us to play for a place in the ­Champions League.

“For next season we need a ­bigger squad anyway as we will be in Europe again. But keeping our best players is a prime target for me. We are doing everything we can to hold on to top players.

“I have been there as a player too. I know what it is like when a player has big ambitions.

“But if we really want, we can make the players stick to their ­contract. That decision will ­eventually be made by the board."
