The Lowdown: Highest earner

The Verdict: Get rid
Given his lack of game time in compared to what he earns, the Toffees simply need to get rid of Mina, even if it means not getting a transfer fee for him.
The Colombia international is too injury-prone, and the club bought in both Conor Coady and James Tarkowski in order to cover his absence.
The pair have formed a solid partnership, as the Blues have conceded just 12 goals in the top flight this term, the joint-sixth best defensive record.
Nonetheless, they also have the likes of Mason Holgate and Michael Keane as cover, so Mina would not really be missed.
