Steven Naismith admits he may have to consider a future away from Everton if he cannot force his way back into Roberto Martinez’s plans.

The Scotland international’s season has been filled with frustration so far as he has started just four Premier League matches.

However, Martinez is on record saying he does not want to lose the former Rangers attacker and even knocked back an £8m deadline-day bid from Norwich earlier this term.

But with the January transfer window set to open in three weeks’ time, Naismith confessed the subject of a move may crop up again.

“When Norwich were interested in me in the summer, it was the manager who said he didn’t want it to happen. But as a player you need to think about all your options,” Naismith said.

“The manager said we’d speak about it again come January time so we’ll do that… you’ve got to weigh up all your options and see where you’re at.”
