Transfer News:   Everton have completed the signing of Leighton Baines from Premiership rivals Wigan.

Baines has signed a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee after completing a medical and agreeing personal terms.

The 22-year-old was at Goodison Park when the Toffees played Werder Bremen in a pre-season friendly.

Baines told their official website: "I am very happy now it is all done and I am looking forward to getting on with it."

Saints reject Derby bid for Jones

Southampton have turned down a £5million bid from Derby for striker Kenwyne Jones, complaining the bid "substantially undervalues" the player.

The Premiership new-boys returned with a second offer for Jones, 22, after having an initial bid for the Trinidad and Tobago international rejected last week.

Jones hit 16 goals last season to help guide Saints to the Coca-Cola Championship play-offs, where they were beaten by Derby in a dramatic semi-final penalty shoot-out.

Having already lost Gareth Bale and Chris Baird in big-money moves this summer, manager George Burley has no need to sell to balance the books at St Mary's.

A statement on the club's official website read: "A further unsolicited and unwelcome approach from Derby County for Kenwyne Jones has been rejected.

"George Burley sees Kenwyne playing a major role in Saints' push for promotion this season.

"Moreover, it is considered that Derby County's latest offer to pay a total of £5million for the player very substantially undervalues his ability and potential as a Premiership-quality striker in the making.

"The club hope the rejection of Derby's latest offer will now bring the matter to a close."

Southampton are reportedly unhappy with the manner of Derby's initial approach for Jones, although the club have yet to comment on whether they are considering taking further action.

Burley reiterated his club's stance, insisting he is only interested in adding to his squad ahead of Saturday's opening game against Crystal Palace.

"I am still looking for a couple more players because we are not quite there yet," said the former Derby boss.

Eriksson offloads at Man City

Manchester City have made Ousmane Dabo, Danny Mills and Paul Dickov available for transfer.

Manager Sven-Goran Eriksson will listen to offers for Dickov, Mills and Dabo, the Frenchman who was at the centre of an alleged training-ground incident with Joey Barton.

Eriksson is preparing to clear out the players he deems surplus to requirements as he closes in on his ninth signing with the arrival of Australian midfielder Mark Bresciano for £3million from Palermo.

Shorey remain committed to Reading

Nicky Shorey has claimed he doesn't want to leave Reading despite rejecting the chance to extend his contract.

Royals boss Steve Coppell revealed over the weekend that the England full-back had turned down the chance of a new deal - including a pay rise - to make sure his options remain open.

The 26-year-old has been linked with West Ham, Manchester City and Newcastle this summer but insists he has no plans to leave.

He said: "I don't want to leave and am fully committed to Reading.

"It would be wrong to start talking about moving or going to a big club. I'm just keeping my options open."
