Defender hails midfielder's impact

Leighton Baines admits he is not surprised if Everton team-mate Marouane Fellaini is a target for a number of other clubs. The likes of Chelsea, Paris Saint Germain and Real Madrid have all been credited with an interest in the Belgian midfielder. Baines is a huge admirer of Fellaini and believes the 24-year-old would be a huge asset for any club. "People just tend to notice "Felli" for his hair," Baines told the Daily Mail. "But there is so much more to him. He is a lovely lad and such a good professional. He gives you everything that he has got and his work ethic is second to none.

Great asset

"He is versatile and does whatever you ask him. He is a great asset when we defend and a total nuisance when we attack. "You saw that when we played Manchester United (and drew 4-4 at Old Trafford in April). He ran the game and scored a great goal. Any team in Europe would want him."
