Martinez relaxed over Fellaini future at Everton

Everton boss Roberto Martinez is relaxed over the future of Marouane Fellaini at Goodison Park. The 25-year-old Belgium midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal or to join up with former Toffees boss David Moyes at Manchester United.

Martinez said: "I don't think it is an issue. You are not talking about a player who is out of the squad or in negotiations with another club. I won't look to speak to him about this because there is nothing to speak about.

"What I want is him to be ready for the next season, to be ready to take an important role at the club and understand that it is a big season for him.

"As an individual, he has got an exciting year in front of him and I don't think he is personally thinking, 'Am I going to be here?' I don't think that's in his head."
