EVERTON manager Roberto Martinez has told Celtic that he is not interested in selling Aiden McGeady.

McGeady has been tipped for an exit from the Barclays Premier League side this summer with his former club understood to be monitoring the situation.

However, Martinez insists that he has had no contact with any clubs over the 29-year-old Republic of Ireland internationalist and regards him as a valuable member of the Everton squad. McGeady is absent from the Goodison club's current tour of Singapore because of a hamstring complaint.

"With Aiden, there is nothing," he said.

"I wouldn't like to go into every rumour and justify every rumour that is in the media. Otherwise, we would never finish.

"Aiden McGeady is an exceptional footballer and he has a talent that is very important for our squad.

"All we need now is to find a solution to that niggling hamstring problem that he has been carrying and I hope that Aiden can enjoy his football.

"When he does do that, he is quite unique.

"There has not been a conversation with another club about a possible transfer. What I am looking for is for him to be fully fit."
