Roberto Martinez says that he will not plan talks with Marouane Fellaini regarding his future at Everton because it isn't an issue.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has said that he is not planning for life without midfielder Marouane Fellaini.

The Belgian international, who has a £24m release clause, has been targeted by both Manchester United and Arsenal after another impressive season for the Toffees.

Despite reported interest from elsewhere, the Spanish coach said that he does not feel the need to talk to the the 25-year-old, who he believes should be focused on giving his all for the Blues next season.

"I don't think it is an issue," Martinez told Sky Sports News. "You are not talking about a player who is out of the squad or in negotiations with another club.

"I won't look to speak to him about this because there is nothing to speak about. What I want is him to be ready for the next season, to be ready to take an important role at the club and understand that it is a big season for him.

"As an individual, he has got an exciting year in front of him and I don't think he is personally thinking, 'Am I going to be here?' - I don't think that's in his head."

Fellaini scored 11 Premier League goals this season.
