Darron Gibson staying at Everton, says Roberto Martinez

Roberto Martinez insists midfielder Darron Gibson won’t be sold in the January transfer window as he still remains an important part of his plans for the future.

Former Republic of Ireland and Everton defender Kevin Kilbane recently stated he believed Gibson needs to leave the Goodison Park club this month to kick-start his club and international career.

But, speaking to the Irish Examiner yesterday, the Everton manager dismissed those comments and maintained the Derry man is still a key member of his squad.
