Marco Silva says Everton will not allow a repeat of their academy transfer ban but insists it will not have a day-to-day impact.

The club were handed a two-year academy transfer ban after being found guilty of breaking Premier League rules.

"It is not a good thing. I think the club work with the Premier League and everything is solved now," Silva said.

"Our CEO did hard work in this situation to solve everything. It will not happen in the future of our club. Because our way is different as a club."

Everton launched an internal investigation which found similar misconduct had occurred in relation to six other academy players, with the club saying they were "extremely disappointed" with some of the practices they found.

But Silva, who joined the club during the summer, is confident his role as Everton manager will not be impacted.
