Everton manager Roberto Martinez hits out at agent's attempts to unsettle striker
ROBERTO MARTINEZ has taken a swipe at Romelu Lukaku’s agent after Mino Raiola claimed he was prepared to sell the Everton striker.
Raiola was quoted as saying Martinez would be willing to sell Lukaku for the “right offer” – just 15 months after signing him permanently for £28m from Chelsea.
But Martinez said: “I am not here to try and do the job of the agent. I’m not going to entertain any rumours or speculation. We have to do that during the transfer window against my wishes, so as you can understand, I’m quite happy not to go into any comments.
“What the agents do is their own prerogative.
“We are facing a team in a good moment, but we are desperate to get back to winning ways and enjoying our football,” said Martinez.
Seamus Coleman is a doubt with a stomach bug.
