Martinez on “the new era” for transfers

Roberto Martinez has admitted he can increased scope for new transfer signings after the arrival of billionaire investor Farhad Moshiri to Goodison.

Martinez: I wouldn’t say my transfer plans have changed, in the way we work.

“The way we work is to identify the footballers who would fit in with the way we want to play and the way we want to be but, clearly, the new era means we will have to extend the amount of players we can fit in our project.

“It hasn’t changed but what it has done is expanded the area we can look into.”
