Leon Osman has mixed emotions over transfer rumours swirling around Everton.
Osman admitted that while the possibility of losing the likes of Marouane Fellaini and Jack Rodwell is worrying, the interest in the squad at Goodison Park shows what a quality squad Everton possess.
"I think the quality we've got at the club shows when people are always being linked with our players," Osman told Sky Sports News.
"They've performed very well and it's only right that clubs are showing interest.
"It possibly is a worry for us as a team trying to keep them, but they're good lads and as long as we can keep them they'll be fully committed.
"We've had such a poor start to the season and found ourselves where we are that we need to now pick up points and get up the league.
"If we finish on a high then hopefully we can take that into next season as well."
