Roberto Martinez "really pleased" with Everton signings

Roberto Martinez has revealed that he is "really pleased" with Everton's dealings in this summer's transfer window following the passing of the deadline.

In addition to the five signings made before today, the Toffees brought in defender Ramiro Funes Mori and winger Aaron Lennon, while also keeping hold of John Stones, who had handed in a transfer request after being linked with a move to Chelsea.

The manager told the club's website: "I feel really pleased about the way in which our business during this transfer window will allow us to carry on with the continuity in our squad and develop some of our young talent while adding some outstanding characters to the football club.

"Four full senior internationals for England, Argentina and Spain reflect the huge calibre of players we have been able to bring in, with some of those, Gerard Deulofeu and Aaron Lennon, already knowing our dressing room and our home.

"Keeping the main performers of the team that attempted that fourth-place finish in the Premier League two seasons ago and shared in some incredible memories in Europe last season will help us to integrate all of our new signings and to carry on reaching better levels of performance on a consistent basis."

Defender Mason Holgate, Belgian youth international David Henen and striker Leandro Rodriguez also moved to Goodison Park this summer.
