Everton could use the January transfer window to trim their squad of unwanted players and Cuco Martina may finally be on his way out as a result.
Beni Baningime, Cenk Tosun and Oumar Niasse are also expected to be offloaded, but Martina’s departure has been five months in the making.
Everton wanted the 30-year-old out over the summer before a knee injury on the training ground ruled out any chance of him leaving, but he’s now recovered and could be offloaded as a result.
Martina has made 28 appearances in all competitions since joining from Southampton in 2017, but his last outing came in Everton’s 2-1 defeat to Burnley (March 3, 2018).
