Everton defender Leighton Baines admits its exciting times for the club.

Baines will be a key figure when Everton meet Lille in the Europa League knowing victory would virtually guarantee them a place in the knockout stages.

"I've found it quite easy to keep moving forward," he said.

"I've stayed and younger players like Seamus Coleman, Ross Barkley and John Stones have all signed long-term contracts. It is a real sign of where the club is."
