Jack Colback insists he's willing to pen new terms with Sunderland.
Barring a stint with Middlesbrough as a youngster, Colback has spent his entire career with Sunderland, and insists he wants to stay.
"Talks are ongoing. It takes time and with the position we've been in, it's been difficult at times because obviously the team is the focal point and comes to the forefront," he told the Northern Echo.
"It's something I've completely put to the back of my mind with the final coming up, I'm concentrating on that.
"But I enjoy playing for the new manager. It's home here. I am settled, my family are settled, so hopefully we can get something sorted."
