Everton boss Sam Allardyce is seeking a new goalkeeper coach.

Allardyce wants Martyn Margetson to form part of his Goodison backroom staff.

Allardyce appointed Margetson to his England coaching set-up last summer and then took him to Crystal Palace in January.

The Welshman still holds both roles with the Selhurst Park club and the national side but Big Sam wants him at Everton, says the Liverpool Echo.'

Meanwhile, Sammy Lee is delighted to join Allardyce's backroom staff.

He told evertontv: “Yes, it was (an easy decision to join Everton). This is a fantastic football club and people know my history, people know my affiliation to Liverpool but I'm also affiliated to Liverpool as a city and I think for me to be given the opportunity to work here at Everton, it's an honour and a pleasure.

“It's a global football club and nobody needs to be educated [on that] wherever they are. People know about Everton Football Club, people know about the history here, people know about the quality here, and you just have to walk around the building [at USM Finch Farm] to see the plans they have put in here to make sure the future is bright going forward.

“It's a big challenge, it's certainly one I'm looking forward to and I'll be doing my utmost to get the best out of this football club."
