Irish right-back Seamus Coleman has quelled any transfer rumours by penning a new five-year contract with Everton, which is reported to be in the region of £75,0000 a week.
While it's a small enough sum in comparison to wages enjoyed by the likes of Wayne Rooney and Yaya Toure, it's still a huge investment for a club like Everton and a sign of just how highly he is rated by Roberto Martinez.
Speaking about his new deal, Coleman said 'I’ve been at Everton five years now and I love everything around the place. I love working with all the players, the staff, the coaching staff – everything. It was a very happy decision to make.'
