Five defensive signings for Martinez at Everton this summer

Inigo Martinez
Currently featuring under David Moyes’ guidance at Real Sociedad, Spain cap Martinez has been previously linked to the likes of Real Madrid, and would be a high-profile capture for Everton.

Able to carry the ball out with ease under pressure and capable of picking out a pass from deep, La Liga centre back Martinez would slot in well on the blue half of Merseyside and provide the Toffees with a clam approach defensively.

Nathan Ake
A potential coup for the Toffees could be to lure Chelsea’s talented young Dutch defender Ake to Goodison Park on a season-long loan as part of any possible deal involving Stones.

The London club are known for regularly loaning out their promising youth players, and Mourinho may be keen on seeing highly-rated Ake arrive at Everton to gain valuable experience in the top-flight.

Hector Moreno
Espanyol’s Mexican centre back has spent this summer recovering from a foot injury he sustained before the Gold Cup kicked-off, and would be a fresh new face at Goodison Park when he returns from his personal set-back(16/1 to win Capital One Cup).

Moreno, now 27 years of age, would provide Toffees boss Martinez with a supreme defensive giant, with his strong abilities capable of seamlessly slotting into the tough and physical aspects of the Premier League.
