Leighton Baines insists he could never consider joining Liverpool Football Club.

The England international is regarded as one of the best fullbacks in the Premier League, and he was linked with a stunning move to Anfield during the summer.

However, speaking before the Merseyside derby last weekend, Baines revealed that he could never consider leaving Everton for their great rivals.

“It was never an option,” he told the Daily Mirror. “When you’re from Liverpool, it’s either Liverpool or Everton. You are one and you stick with that, you don’t do both.”
