Roberto Martinez ready to embrace Farhad Moshiri arrival at Everton

Everton manager Roberto Martinez is determined to embrace the challenge the additional pressure the club’s new billionaire investor Farhad Moshiri will demand.

Over the weekend the Iranian is believed to have agreed to pay about £85million (€109m) for an initial 49.9% share, pledging to plough significantly more into the club’s transfer dealings and infrastructure.

With money behind him — something few Everton managers have been blessed with — Martinez will be expected to deliver better results than he has this season with arguably the best squad in a generation.
