Martinez rubbishes Coleman transfer talk

Republic of Ireland international Coleman has impressed many with his barnstorming displays from right-back this season, chipping in with a number of crucial goals.

The latest of those came in dramatic fashion on Saturday as his last-minute winner saw Everton to a 2-1 win over Cardiff City at Goodison Park to keep them firmly in the hunt for European football next season.

"It must be a different Seamus Coleman because we've never had any talks with anyone," he said.

"Seamus has had a very good season, we want that to continue and in the next 10 games we want him to carry on with the same levels.

"He's a very, very important player at Everton and we want him to stay here for a long, long time."

Coleman has scored a total of six goals in 26 Premier League outings this season, and has racked up 133 appearances in all competitions since arriving on Merseyside from Sligo Rovers for a reported £60,000 in January 2009.
