Ireland midfielder James Mc Carthy is once again being linked with Everton.

The 22-year-old Wigan midfielder may hook up with his old manager Roberto Martinez if Marouane Fellaini is sold to Manchester United.

The Latics want just under €25 million for the FA Cup winner.

Meanwhile Joey Barton has declared his interest in joining Everton, with a move to Marseille stalling.

It is believed that the QPR player would take a 50 percent pay cut to link up with Toffee's whom he grew up supporting. He also spent time in their youth ranks before switcing to Manchester City's academy
