Everton’s Seamus Coleman (pictured) is close to agreeing a new deal at Goodison Park, Sky Sports is reporting.
The 24-year-old’s current deal runs until 2015, but Everton are keen to reward with him with an extension.
Coleman, a native of Killybegs in Donegal who can play at right-back or on the wing, has been instrumental in Everton’s fine form this season with a number of impressive performances.
Coleman signed for Everton from Sligo Rovers for £60,000 in January 2008.
It is believed Coleman had a clause in his contract entitling him to a new deal once he made a certain number of appearances and he is now thought to have passed that threshold.
Coleman’s representative, Hayden Evans, confirmed talks were ongoing and that he was hopeful of a successful conclusion.
“We have held positive talks with Everton and I am confident there will be a positive conclusion soon,” Evans told Sky Sports.
