Ross Barkley and Everton will open talks on a contract extension.

Everton secured new deals on Friday for the veteran midfielder Gareth Barry, defender Leighton Baines and promising youngster Mason Holgate.

Negotiations have not yet commenced on an extension for Barkley, with the England international enduring a difficult season under Ronald Koeman.

Koeman said: “We know he has about 18 months left. That’s not the priority now. In the new year we will have talks about his situation and his future but the priority now is playing and winning and see what happens in January. I’m not interested in what is said about the future of players. There is no one knocking on the door now about players from Everton.”
