Everton manager David Moyes has insisted that the Toffees made the right decision to let midfielder Jack Rodwell leave the club.
The 21-year-old signed for Premier League champions Manchester City at the weekend for a reported £15m fee.
"I had known about it for a while and I thought it was something that was right for Jack and right for Everton," said Moyes.
"It gives us a chance to do a little bit more business in the transfer market having raised the money. Hopefully I will try to add to the squad before the season starts."
The blue half of Merseyside will begin the new Premier League season with a clash against Manchester United on Monday.
