Roberto Martinez: 'We're working on transfers'

Everton boss Roberto Martinez says that he is hoping to add "two or three" players to his squad before the end of the transfer window.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has reiterated his belief that he needs "two or three" more players ahead of the new Premier League season.

The Blues have so far added Gareth Barry and Peter Henen to their ranks, but have seen Gerard Deulofeu and Romelu Lukaku head back to Barcelona and Chelsea respectively, following the conclusion of their loan deals.

Speaking after watching his side slip to a 1-0 reverse to Leicester City in Thailand, the Blues boss told reporters: "The window is open until the final day of August, so we've still got a few more weeks left.

"We've still got two or three positions left and we're confident of bringing in those three players to fill those positions.

"We got a few players to come back, so we're still working, and a work in progress and you cannot be happy when you lose a game, but we need to be realistic, it's pre-season and we're working towards achieving our best form."

Everton begin their new campaign with a trip to the newly-promoted Leicester on August 16.
