Everton Transfers: 7 Players Who Could Leave In January
Will we see these players in blue shirts next season?
With the Premier Leagues joint-top goalscorer, Englands brightest defensive prospect, and some of the best young midfielders in the business on its books, Everton's greatest challenge could be keeping hold of his prized assets this transfer window. Some of Europes top clubs are circling the likes of Romelu Lukaku and John Stones, but Goodison Park is no longer the revolving-door talent hub it once was. Manager Roberto Martinez continues to repel bids for his star players, yet with Champions League qualification no more than a pipe dream, holding onto them longterm could be a big ask. Then there are valuable squad players like Steven Naismith and Kevin Mirallas, a talented duo who are finding first-team football hard to come by at Everton and may choose to seek it at pastures new, rather than fight for the right to cast off their benchwarmer tags. There deadwood to clean out, a keeper conundrum to contend with, and rumours of lucrative bids in circulation - so, here are seven players whose days at Goodison might be numbered.
