Martinez: Everton has moved on from Distin

Roberto Martinez understands Sylvain Distin's frustrations at a lack of Everton game time, but John Stones' performances will keep him out.

Roberto Martinez claims Everton has moved on from Sylvain Distin after the center back hit out at a lack of match action this term.

The 37-year-old has not played since January's FA Cup third-round draw with West Ham, a team he claimed to have been keen on joining later that month.

"I went to see the coach about the proposal for West Ham who were offering me a transfer until the end of the season," Distin told L'Equipe in the week.
