Rafa Benitez admits Everton must sell players to meet Financial Fair Play rules and continue their transfer business this summer... with highest-earner James Rodriguez told he can go

Rafa Benitez has admitted that the Financial Fair Play rules in the Premier League mean that Everton must first sell players before they continue with their transfer business this summer.

The club have brought in three new additions in the window so far in Asmir Begovic, Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray, but have spent just £1.7million in total in what has proven to be a testing last few weeks.

Everton are keen on a number of targets, namely a new right back, winger and midfielder, but they are now under mounting pressure to show a number of first-team stars the exit door to spend more.
