Everton Transfers: 9 Players Martinez Must Sign In January
9. Matt Ritchie (Bournemouth)
Bournemouths Matt Ritchie has proven to be the Premier League newcomers greatest asset this season, and the Scotland internationals development hasnt gone unnoticed. Tabloid reports suggest Everton are among a quartet of top-flight clubs eyeing up the 26-year-old winger, along with West Ham, West Bromwich Albion and Manchester United. The Cherries are reluctant to allow their star player to leave with a potential relegation battle on the horizon, and the club are apparently expecting at least £5 million for his services, a figure that represents a sizeable chunk of Martinezs roomy purse. Everton already have options along the right flank - with Kevin Mirallas competing with the magic feet of Gerard Deulofeu for a place in the first team - but as uncertainty clouds the formers long-term future at Goodison Park, Ritchie would be quite the coup for the Toffees.
