Roberto Martinez reveals approaches from Europe

Roberto Martinez reveals that a number of European clubs are keen on sending their young prospects to develop at Everton.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has revealed that clubs across Europe have been in contact about taking their young prospects on loan next season.

The Catalan coach has utilised the loan market well since taking over at Goodison Park, bringing in the likes of Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea and Barcelona's Gerard Deulofeu.

He believes that the club's atmosphere and style of play is attractive for developing emerging talent.

"They have seen the other loanees and how well they have been looked after," Sky Sports News quotes the 40-year-old as saying. "It hasn't happened with the clubs in the UK, but it has come from abroad.

"We have had calls from clubs asking about taking their players for next season. They see it as a perfect step up in their career.

"Put yourself in the position of a director of football who has spent £20m on a youngster, but there's no place for him in your team. You aren't going to send him somewhere he isn't going to develop, or to a club with a different style."

The Blues also have Gareth Barry on loan from Manchester City.
