Aluko wants to extend Hull contract and is 'sure' new deal will be sorted



Hull City star Sone Aluko wants to sign a new deal and stay with the club.



The former Rangers midfielder has set the Barclays Premier League alight in Hull’s opening five games and scored a superb cushioned winner at Newcastle United on Saturday.



Hull boss Steve Bruce, who gave Aluko his debut at Birmingham aged 16, is eager to tie him to a new deal, to replace a contract which runs out at the end of the season.



New deal, please: Sone Aluko wants an extension to his Hull City contract

Talks have opened between the two parties and Aluko is confident he will sign.



Aluko said: 'We have just started talking. The focus is on games and getting fit again. I am sure it will get done. No doubt it will drag on, as negotiations do, but I am relaxed about it. It’s football so nothing would surprise you but I am sure it will get done.



'I am enjoying my football, I love the team and the stage we’re on. It is more than a dream to play on this stage and I just want to be fit and enjoy the games.



Wanted: Manager Steve Bruce is hopeful Aluko will pen a new deal

'Apart from Chelsea, who gave us a lesson, so far so good and let’s hope it continues. I didn’t enjoy Chelsea because we’re better than we showed.



'We have a good team and good players and we have shown that so far and seven points is a fair reflection of how we are playing.'



Hull boss Bruce is also certain he will tie up a new deal for Aluko, and knows securing the playmaker will be as good as a new signing for the newly promoted Yorkshire club.



No worries: Aluko is 'sure' that he'll remain a Tiger

Bruce added: 'Sone is enjoying it and we will try our utmost to tie him down. We’d all be delighted to give him a contract and hopefully we’ll get him tied up.



'For me, he was the best player in the Championship last season up until Christmas, we can only try our best to keep him.
