Moyes thrilled with signingEverton manager David Moyes has hailed the arrival of new signing Leighton Baines from Wigan Athletic.
"We are pleased to have him," said Moyes.
"It is a signing for now and it is also a signing for the future.
"Leighton is someone that we have been after for a long time and he is someone who will give good competition to our squad.
"We see him as a left-back. We already have Nuno Valente to play there and Joleon Lescott can cover in that position, but we really want him (Lescott) to be a central defender.
"We needed to add to our squad. Leighton is a young player and he fits in with our policy of trying to buy good British players if we can.
"We have been impressed by him and the reports that we have had about him over the past 12 months have been good."
