Roberto Martinez: 'Three to four players to arrive in coming days'

Everton will confirm the arrivals of "three to four" new players in the coming days, according to Roberto Martinez.

Everton boss Roberto Martinez has said that "three to four" new players will arrive at Goodison Park in the coming days.

Anderlecht striker David Henen is close to joining the Toffees in a £1.5m deal, but the only confirmed piece of business so far has been the arrival of Gareth Barry on a free transfer.

A number of Premier League clubs have added many new players to their squads, and Martinez has said that there will be plenty of business from his side in the next few days.

"The main priority was to have continuity in what we did last season," he told talkSPORT. "We have had a few players signing extensions and we got Gareth Barry becoming a permanent signing, which was huge for us.

"In the next couple of days we will have a few players coming in because it was important for me to assess the youngsters.

"The youngsters have done terrific and are showing the good work we are doing in the academy at Finch Farm, but there are areas that need to be strengthened and over the next few days we are going to get the three, four players we need just to finalise the squad facing the huge demands with European football ahead of us."

Martinez led Everton to a fifth-place finish in his debut season with the Merseyside outfit.
