Eddie Howe insists contract talks with his in-form Newcastle United stars will come further down the line as the club focus solely on maintaining recent momentum ahead of the World Cup break.
Reports this week suggested man of the moment Miguel Almiron was in line to receive an improved deal after his stellar start to the season with Newcastle. However, Howe played that down on Friday, admitting no talks had been held with the Paraguayan or any other player of late.
"No, I don't know where that story has come from," he told reporters. "Miggy is someone who I love and respect but no conversations have started between himself and his representatives. We're in a busy spell of games and all discussions about contracts will take place at a later date."
