However, Anichebe, may not be too impressed at the prospect of Martinez going back to Goodison Park six years after his departure from the club.

He said to Sky Sports: "I've heard Martinez has been linked. Is this some kind of joke?"

He added: "He finished fifth in his first season with David Moyes' team.

"People don't remember what happened before. There were protests to get him out of the club. You're going from one toxic situation to another."
