Martinez hopes to name Jones Everton No2 this week

Everton boss Roberto Martinez is expected to name Graeme Jones as his No2 in the coming days.

The Mirror says Martinez wants to tie up a deal with Wigan for Jones this week.

Martinez is keen for compensation to be sorted for his former assistant, but Dave Whelan wants a pay-off as he is on a three-year contract.

Martinez also plans to take Kevin Reeves for a 'general manager' role - he works at Latics without a deal and is keen to join him.

Reeves is the man behind many of Martinez's signings and would take on that position on Merseyside.
