Everton manager wants Fellaini to stay at club
25-year-old midfielder Marouane Fellaini has been linked with a move away from his current club, Everton, but the Belgian international has yet to join another team despite interest from Chelsea and Arsenal. The player has been told he should stay put at Goodison Park by manager Roberto Martinez.
It is understood that there is a buyout clause in Fellaini's contract that will expire in mid-August, and Martinez is keen to make sure the player stays at Everton.
"Marouane is an international footballer and he's going to be involved, if all goes well, in a World Cup next year," Martinez revealed. "He’s had a fantastic impact in the Premier League, and hopefully now is the time he can carry on showing his massive influence in the game for us.
"He's still a very young man, but I am really looking forward to seeing Marouane working hard and making sure that he sets really good standards at this club.
"We have a very good group of senior players in our dressing room, and some players need that extra bit of responsibility.
"We have youngsters at the club and they need to get opportunities, but the senior players at the club are massively important [if we are to] start the season as strong as we can be."
