Seamus Coleman offered new Everton contract

Ireland and Everton hero Seamus Coleman has been offered a new contract by the Merseyside club.

Everton narrowly avoided Premier League relegation for the second consecutive season thanks in the main to some wonderful performances from the Donegal native.

Coleman signed for Everton from Sligo Rovers back in 2009. The blues paid just €70,000 to secure his services in what arguably is the one of the best investments in the clubs history.

If the Irishman signs he will move into his 15th year at the club and will likely add to his 409 first-team appearances. He has scored 28 times including a vital winner against Leeds back in February.

The 34 year old suffered what looked to be a horrendous knee injury against Leicester in May. Thankfully for fans of Everton and Ireland scans revealed the injury to be less severe than expected. He will however miss Ireland's two upcoming European qualifiers.

Everton have also offered new deals to Tom Davies and veteran goalkeeper Andy Lonergan.

They have confirmed that Yerry Mina, Asmir Begovic and Andros Townsend will all be leaving the club.
