Everton boss Martinez won't panic over keeper signing

Everton boss Roberto Martinez insists he won't panic over signing a new goalkeeper.

With Tim Howard injured, Martinez is happy to go with Joel Robles as his No1.

He told the Liverpool Echo: "Joel has been working hard behind the scenes to get his opportunity and he is getting his opportunity now.

"But having been out for such a long period there is a bit of a risk and I don't want to leave the squad too exposed.

"We have two young goalkeepers who have a terrific future but I do need to see if there is an opportunity to make us a bit stronger in that area.

"But in the same way he has to be the right character and have the right profile to do that.

"If he is not available and if January is not the right time to find a perfect replacement then I would be quite happy to allow the youngsters to show what they can do.

"At the moment it is a situation we are monitoring."
