Pienaar and Arteta have both been subject of considerable speculation this summer linking them with moves elsewhere. Arteta has been in negotiations over a new deal for some time but is yet to sign while Pienaar is now entering the final year of his contract. Manager David Moyes has made the re-signing of key squad members his top priority since the end of last season and a number, including Baines, have committed. Baines, who signed a new five-year deal, now wants the key pair to follow his example and that of Tim Cahill, Jack Rodwell and Seamus Coleman. The 25-year-old said: "They will definitely know we all want them to stay. "They are among our better players and a key part of what we are looking to do. "We want to keep our better players to give us the best chance of success. "Hopefully they will stick with us. I don't know what their thoughts are - they are personal matters - but we are all hoping, like the fans, they stay with us." Baines is looking forward to the new Premier League campaign after the disappointment of missing out on a trip to the World Cup. The former Wigan player was a member of England's provisional 30-man squad for the tournament in South Africa but failed to make the final cut. Everton begin their campaign with a trip to Blackburn on August 14. Baines, speaking at a promotion for club sponsors Chang beer, said: "Hopefully there'll be positives to come out of a negative and I'll feel fresher come the start of the season. "The summer is always nice and enjoyable. You relax and spend some time with the family - I think everyone enjoys it. "I put my feet up and fully relaxed during those four weeks but, now it is coming to an end, I think everyone is ready to come back. "I've had a nice few weeks' break but I was more than happy to come back and get training again."
