Jewell praises Baines impact
Paul Jewell is full of praise for emerging left-back Leighton Baines.
Wigan boss Paul Jewell believes starlet left back Leighton Baines could be ready for full international honours.The talented defender has been a revelation for Wigan this term and has already cemented a role in Peter Taylor's rejuvenated England Under-21 side.
Premiership outfit Everton are reportedly considering a January raid for Baines but with Wigan riding high in the Championship table, they will be reluctant to part with one of their prized-assets.
''Leighton has all the attributes to go all the way to the top,'' declared Jewell. ''The lad is quick.
''He can tackle and he has a tremendous attitude.
''He also has the confidence which I think all good players need.''
