Martinez hoping Barry sticks with Toffees

Everton manager Roberto Martinez trusts midfielder Gareth Barry to make the right call when his loan spell expires at the end of the season.

The 32-year-old’s impressive form at Goodison Park, having been deemed surplus to requirements at Manchester City, has started to attract interest from other clubs with Arsenal the latest to be linked.

But, while Martinez believes Barry is playing well enough for an England recall, he is confident there is no need to bring forward planned talks on the player’s future ahead of a summer when he becomes a free agent.
