Roberto Martinez rules out Romelu Lukaku sale in January

Everton boss Roberto Martinez rubbishes suggestions that Romelu Lukaku could be sold this month.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez categorically denied on Friday that Romelu Lukaku will be sold in the January transfer window.

Lukaku has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, who are reported to be considering a bid in excess of £50m.

Other Everton players, including Ross Barkley, have also made the transfer gossip pages, but Martinez has insisted that all of his star men are staying put.

"Nobody is going to leave," The Mirror quotes Martinez as saying. "None of our players who have been performing well are going to leave in January - that's the end of the matter.

When asked if every player has their price, Martinez said: "Not in January. We are not even going to consider losing any member of our squad, who is going to be very important to us. That's all that matters.

"Any talk of players getting valuation or leaving is a waste of time really."

Everton are currently 11th in the Premier League table.
