Everton have been given some hope by Wigan chairman Dave Whelan, after their chairman admitted that James McCarthy and Callum McManaman would both be allowed to swap clubs alongside Roberto Martinez.

Martinez is expected to be named Everton's new manager this week; and according to many reports a few players could follow him.<br />

"If Everton want to sign any of our players for the right amount of money we will consider it. There is no agreement. It is unfair and I don't believe in anything like that," said Whelan.<br />

"It is normally the case certain players want to play in the Premier League and I can't blame them for that. Players sign contracts but sometimes one or two want to leave and it is difficult to stop them. Players are players and I believe in freedom in football. But we have a lot of players who are loyal to Wigan Athletic so we will just wait and see."
