According to The Sun, experienced defender Leighton Baines is ready to leave Everton this summer for the MLS.

Indeed, it is being reported that LA Galaxy and the newly-formed Los Angeles FC have been made aware that the left-back could be available in this summer's transfer window.

Baines has spent the last 11 seasons at Goodison Park - making over 400 appearances - but he will be 34 in December, and his current contract with the Toffees will expire next summer.

A calf problem interrupted Baines’ 2017-18 campaign, but he still made 29 appearances for Everton last term – scoring three times and registering four assists.

Everton are currently seeking a new manager, however, and it remains to be seen whether 30-time England international Baines fits into the plans of the incoming head coach.

There is absolutely no question that the former Wigan Athletic full-back has been a wonderful servant for Everton, but it seems that the bulk of the club's supporters feel that now is the right time for him to move on.
