# Everton star hints towards January exit

![naismith3](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/naismith3-500x283.jpg)Everton fans in the Transfer Tavern are having a quiet discussion amongst themselves after reading reports that one of their players may well be leaving the club in January if the right offer comes in.

[According to an article from the Liverpool Echo, out-of-favour Everton striker Steven Naismith has hinted that his time at Goodison Park may have come to an end as his lack of game time has left him feeling frustrated.](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-steven-naismith-admits-might-10575782)

The Scotland international has been limited to just 4 minutes of game time in the last 6 weeks as in-form striker, Romelu Lukaku, continues to impress and [Naismith has admitted he may have to leave the Blues if he can’t get regular football under Roberto Martinez.](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-steven-naismith-admits-might-10575782)

The 29-year-old has not started a game for Everton since the 3-0 home defeat to Manchester United way back in October with only 2 substitute appearances in the Capital One Cup since then.

[When asked about his future at Goodison Park, Naismith said:](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-steven-naismith-admits-might-10575782)

> “The manager said we’d speak about it again come January time so we’ll do that. At the moment I’m just concentrating on playing my football as part of a great squad and hopefully if I get my chance to play again, I take it.”
>
> “But you’ve got to weigh up all your options and see where you’re at. At the start of the season I wasn’t playing then got thrown on nine minutes into the Chelsea game and not many people would’ve seen me scoring a hat-trick. That shows you how quickly it can change.”

With the January transfer window fast approaching, Naismith’s services at Goodison Park may no longer be required.
