Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff admits he doesn't want to leave.
The Geordie's deal expires in June.
Speaking after the 3-0 win over Norwich, Longstaff said: "All you can do is concentrate on yourself. Ultimately, if you are giving your best and you don't get in the team then you have to accept that.
"But as long as I am doing everything I can do that's the most important thing. There are people here that want to help you improve and get better.
"So when you do get a chance you are ready to step in and put in a good performance. The lads that have played have been excellent.
"I'm not stupid, it's not like they don't deserve it because they do. The whole squad is playing well and that's what happens when you have confidence.
"For me, with the position, we were in it would have been selfish to think about myself and what is going to happen with me in the future on what's going to happen or what's not going to happen. I am just focusing on the best footballer I can be. Hopefully that will be here.
"If it's not then it's not, I am just focused on being the best Sean Longstaff I can be and see where that takes me."
Longstaff's contract talks have been going on since 2019 under Steve Bruce during the Mike Ashley era. With new owners now in place they have continued in the past six months.
But the Geordie midfielder stated the club's precarious position had to come before his own.
Longstaff said: "Absolutely, with the position, we were in we could have been relegated, so if I was sitting there sulking and worrying about me and not about the team. That puts me at a disadvantage.
"That's not the right thing to do. Obviously we are safe now. Maybe I can put a little thought into what might happen, but as I say, what will be, will be.
"That has always been my mindset in everything I have done. I want to be the best I can be and where that takes me, it takes me. I will be happy with that."
