Everton boss Martinez confident keeping hold of Barkley

Everton boss Roberto Martinez insists there's no pressure to sell Ross Barkley.

At Manchester City, confidence grows that the champions will land the 20-year-old midfielder for £50million.

But Martinez warned: "Ross is probably the biggest asset Everton have ever had.

"The truth - and the key to his situation - is that we don't have to sell. We don't have to sell players to balance the books at Everton."
