Everton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin says the club is doing everything they can to keep hold of their star players.

The likes of Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley continue to be linked with a summer move to a number of Premier League rivals but Schneiderlin has revealed the plan of the Merseyside club to build a strong squad for the future.

"There is a lot of speculation about people signing new contracts and everything," he told Sky Sports News HQ.

"But I know, when I came to this football club, that they have a great vision for the future; they want to bring some great players to the club to push forward.

"I don't know what's happening behind the scenes but I can tell you I think they are doing their best to keep their players and bring new players in to push us forward next year.

"We need a good squad with great players to be able to push in all competitions."
