Everton boss Martinez confirms Garbutt loan plans

Everton boss Roberto Martinez admits Luke Garbutt is available for loan.

Martinez expects to have Leighton Baines fully fit for the start of the season and confirmed his plans to release Garbutt on loan for the season.

"He's someone we want to keep in our club because he has a terrific future," said the Everton boss. "He's been playing for the England U21s and probably has had the best left-back to learn from in Leighton Baines to learn from on a daily basis.

"The idea will be to send him on loan to get important experience. But it was very important that Luke wanted to stay at Everton, a place where he can fully develop his potential."
