Mail says Spurs are looking at McCarthy
The Daily Mail claim that Spurs are 'monitoring' the situation of James McCarthy despite the 24 year-old's recent hamstring problems and Roberto Martinez's insistence that his £13m acquisition will be at Goodison "for a long, long time."
However, the paper stirs the suggestion that the injured player has grown frustrated following the lack of talks over a revised contract, even though his current agreement runs for another 3½ years.
Arsenal have also been linked with a £20m move for McCarthy but the Mail's reports say they are wary that Everton will refuse all offers and don't want to become engaged in a saga hence looking at other targets. In any case, Spurs observers doubt Daniel Levy will pay that much for the player.
McCarthy's position could be a huge litmus test of the player's faith in Martinez and his Everton project that is coming under so much scrutiny on the back of four straight defeats and simmering rumours of player unrest. But McCarthy followed Martinez to Goodison from Wigan and the loss of such a key player, who likely has a strong relationship with the Catalan, would set alarm bells ringing very loudly at Goodison Park.
