As another day in the world of football draws to a close, we take a look at the big headlines of the day.
Leighton Baines quashed any overlying rumours about his future by signing a new four-year deal to stay at Everton.
The left-back had been courted by Manchester United, managed by former Everton boss David Moyes, and was the subject of a bid from the Red Devils in the summer.
Moyes had been expected to return with a new bid for the full-back during the January transfer window, but Baines has put pen to paper on a new deal at Goodison Park.
Meanwhile Juan Mata gave his first press conference as a Manchester United player today following his record £37.1 million move from Chelsea.
He said it was "a great moment for me", joining United and added that he was "looking forward to winning trophies for Manchester United".
