Benitez admits Everton must move players on as profit and sustainability rules tighten Toffees' transfer plans

The blue side of Merseyside has had a quiet window in terms of incoming faces and will still yet have to part with multiple members of their squad

Rafa Benitez has admitted that the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules have restricted Everton's transfer plans, forcing him to tell several players they can leave Goodison Park.

The former Liverpool boss, who has swapped red for blue in crossing the Merseyside divide, has been tasked with following Carlo Ancelotti at the helm of the Toffees.

But the Spaniard looks set to be handed a tough hand from the start amid financial constraints and has acknowledged that the club will have to let multiple faces go before the transfer window shuts.
