Roberto Martinez insists Everton have no transfer agreement with Chelsea

Everton manager Roberto Martinez dismisses the idea that Chelsea will be given first refusal on his club's young players.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has dismissed suggestions that Chelsea are being offered first refusal on his young players.

Chelsea winger Christian Atsu completed his loan move to Goodison Park this week, following former teammate Romelu Lukaku who made a permanent £28m move this summer.

When asked if Chelsea was a future destination for Ross Barkley and John Stones, Martinez is quoted by the Daily Post as saying: "No, no, not at all.

"We have a good relationship and a professional relationship and I want to believe that they feel that they can trust us in sending players out on loan.

"I don't think that relationship goes any further. The chairman (Bill Kenwright) has been instrumental in forging that relationship more than anyone.

"There is a possibility for both to use it in a good way, but there is no commitment in any sort of future deals."

Barkley last month signed a four-year contract with his boyhood club while Stones, signed from Barnsley in January 2013, penned a five-year deal last week.
