Everton manager Roberto Martinez has confirmed that fringe duo Darron Gibson and Aiden McGeady can leave the club this month.
Gibson has made just four league appearances for the Toffees this season, all of which have come from the bench.
McGeady, meanwhile, has failed to register a competitive minute in the Premier League this term, with Gerard Deulofeu, Arouna Kone and Aaron Lennon ahead of him in the pecking order.
With the transfer window open, Martinez has now suggested he could allow both players to leave Goodison Park before January ends.
"We have had a lot of interest in Darron Gibson and Aiden McGeady and we need to sit down and consider what is the next step," Martinez is quoted as saying on Sky Sports.
"It has been disappointing for them not to have enough minutes on the pitch and they need to be playing until the end of the season due to the opportunity of playing for Ireland in the Euros.
"They deserve to have special attention at this stage of the season. They haven't played enough and now is a good opportunity to see if the second half of the season can be a good one."
