Everton fans react to Carlo Ancelotti’s comments on Leighton Baines

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that the club is planning to offer a new contract to Leighton Baines.

The Italian wants the 35-year-old to extend his Everton career into a 14th season.

Baines, who has only made five appearances in the Premier League this season, has been impressive in recent games in the absence of Lucas Digne.

The left-back, who made his 417th appearance for the club in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United, has a contract at the club till 2020. However, it seems, Ancelotti is willing to offer him a fresh new deal.
