1 Nikica Jelavic

Everton boss Roberto Martinez has confirmed two clubs have enquired about signing Nikica Jelavic.

The Croatian striker has not scored this season and has been restricted to substitute appearances since the arrival of on-loan Chelsea star Romelu Lukaku in the summer.

And Martinez admits he may need to make a decision regarding the striker’s future when the transfer window opens next week.

He told evertontv: “We’ve had a couple of enquiries from two different clubs for one of our players.

“We’ve had a conversation [with Jelavic] and he has the World Cup around the corner. He needs to be playing minutes and we understand that. We’ll always try to give a good assessment of the situation, but that’s not affecting anyone at the club.

“Whatever happens in January will be for the good of the football club and that’s where the work is.”
