Barkley staying put, says Martinez

Everton boss Roberto Martinez has ruled out the possibility of Manchester City-target Ross Barkley leaving in the January transfer window, insisting it is vital that he keeps his "best performers".

He said: “This January window for us it is vital we concentrate on recapturing our best form so you can imagine all of our best performers even if they get a lot of attention they are not going anywhere.”

Martinez has also targeted a long-term goalkeeping solution in January — putting the future of Joel Robles indoubt.
