Sean Dyche is so focused on Everton’s fight to avoid relegation that all talk about new contracts with his squad has been parked.
Seamus Coleman, Yerry Mina, Tom Davies and Andros Townsend are all out of contract this summer, while Conor Coady and Ruben Vinagre are on loan from other clubs. Abdoulaye Doucoure’s current deal is also up, but the club has an option to extend that by a further year.
Everton ended last season four points clear of the relegation zone, but they have once again found themselves embroiled in another battle to stay in the top-flight this term. Although under the stewardship of Dyche, the Blues have managed to give themselves more than a fighting chance of beating the drop.
