David Moyes is determined to hold on to some of his top talent to ensure Everton can progress next season.
In previous years, the Everton boss has seen quality young talent such as Wayne Rooney and Joleon Lescott prised away from Goodison Park when bigger clubs come in with large bids.
There are fears a similar thing could happen this summer as the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and the two Manchester sides have been linked with moves for Everton duo Jack Rodwell and Mikel Arteta.
Moyes told the Daily Express that clubs have previously thought they can take Everton’s top talent away from the club, but this summer there is no need to sell players.
“They know they are going to have to come with a very big cheque. If they come here, they know it is going to be very expensive and our intention is not to let any of the players go,” said the Scot.
Speaking about Arteta and Rodwell, he added: “I expect them to be here next season.”
One player definitely staying at Goodison Park is Australia midfielder Tim Cahill, who has become a huge star with the Everton fans because of his ability to get vital goals.
The 30-year-old joined the club in 2004 and has now signed a new four-year contract to remain with the Toffees until 2014.
