Everton manager Roberto Martinez has refused to comment on reports he is keen to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.

The Sun reported on Thursday that Everton are planning an £8m move for the Bosnian this summer.

Martinez insisted there was “nothing to comment on” when asked about Begovic being linked with a move to Goodison Park.

“We’ve been working two thirds of the season, there’s no point in us talking about players,” he added.

Begovic, 28, was signed from Stoke last July as a back-up keeper and deputised for Thibaut Courtois when the Belgian was out injured during the first half of the season.

He has been kept out of the side since Courtois’ return and has not made a league appearance since November.
