Everton boss Roberto Martinez feels the club's strong financial position means they can resist bids for midfielder Ross Barkley in January. The 20 year old has been linked with a £50m move to Manchester United.
When asked if he was confident the Toffees could resist offers from other clubs, Martinez, said: "Yes. Absolutely. There is not even a doubt."
"He has a long-term contract and the first half of the season has been a real joy to see him grow and the second half of the season will be even better," the Spaniard said.
"We are in a strong position financially. When you have to bring in money then it can be a real difficult position as you can be anxious and frustrated.
"The stability we have from a financial point of view allows us to make football decisions and this January window is important for us to make sure we kick on and finish stronger than we started."
