Sam Allardyce reportedly needs to sell a midfielder at Everton to make room for Steven N’Zonzi in the January transfer window.

Morgan Schneiderlin

Schneiderlin has improved since Allardyce took charge, but the Everton midfielder has lost support this season.
The Frenchman’s attitude has come in for question, and his performances during Ronald Koeman’s and David Unsworth’s times at the helm were woeful.
Although Schneiderlin remains a talented player, his failure to show his top form at Everton early on this season could prove costly.
James McCarthy

McCarthy has been out with injury for much of the season so far, but his future at Goodison Park is far from secure.
McCarthy brings energy and dynamism to Everton’s midfielder when he is fit, but Allardyce has other similar players.
The likes of Idrissa Gueye and Tom Davies can offer the same qualities as McCarthy, which means that the Irishman may be deemed expendable.
Muhamed Besic

Once considered a bright prospect, Besic appears to have slipped down the pecking order at Everton.
A series of injuries has blocked the Bosnian’s progress, and it may be best for everyone that Besic moves on now.
