David Moyes has revealed he could sign a new contract with Everton as soon as this weekend.

The Scot's future at Goodison Park has been the subject of conjecture for the last few weeks as talks over a new deal have dragged on for some time.

Moyes has rejected rumours that he could walk out on Everton and insists that he could pledge his long-term future to the club ahead of this weekend's clash with Newcastle, live on Sky Sports 1 and HD1.

Asked if there was any truth in the rumours about quitting Everton, Moyes said: "No. I don't think there has been any suggestion about that from me or certainly not from anyone I have spoken to.

"I am here and I will sign a new contract with Everton very shortly, maybe even before the weekend.

"Things are with lawyers now and everything might be done before the weekend."
