Everton boss Martinez grateful for Kenwright support

Everton boss Roberto Martinez is delighted with the support he's received from chairman Bill Kenwright.

Martinez is confident the club will move forward again this season thanks to the work done during the summer by Kenwright and the board in strengthening the squad.

He told ESPN: "Everyone can see what we did last season. We brought a lot of hope, togetherness and positivity to the club.

"We had a very tough task to try to assemble a squad that could carry that on for the next season, but what the chairman and the board have done this summer is incredible.

"The signing of Romelu Lukaku, Gareth Barry as a permanent player, the new contracts of John Stones, Ross Barkley and Seamus Coleman, it's a real sign that we're going forward."
