David Moyes is known to be a huge fan of Leighton Baines, a player who he purchased and developed at Everton; it is thought that Man Utd will eventually make a move for the talented England international.<br />

Now, Alexander Buttner's agent Alexander Bursac has confirmed that there is a strong chance of a transfer for the Everton full back.<br />

"Moyes knows Baines very well, so he will play if he joins Everton. A transfer from Evra to Monaco did not go through. If Evra leaves, Moyes wants Baines. Baines is an English international, 28 years old and more experienced," Bursac quipped.<br />

"If Baines arrives, the chances [for Buttner] to play are even less than last year. That would be a shame, because Alex wants to play for the Dutch national team next season."
