Bryan Oviedo is hoping to finalise a new three-year deal with Everton .

The Blues full-back is ready to put pen to paper on a fresh contract at Goodison, with his current deal due to expire at the end of this season.

Everton have the option of extending his stay by another 12 months but Roberto Martinez wants to hand Oviedo a new contract, taking him until the end of the 2019 season.

The 25-year-old has started Everton's last three matches at left-back and helped the Blues to a hat-trick of 3-0 wins in league and cup.

Oviedo's form as kept Leighton Baines out of the team and the Costa Rica international says now is a perfect time to talk about a new deal.

"Now we have set the ideal time to negotiate a new contract; these games have helped me a lot to show more interest in me," Oviedo told www.nacion.com.

"I hope to renew with them and thank them for the opportunity they are giving me and the trust they place in me."

"One has to be grateful in life; they have shown me patience. The coach and coaching staff have always helped me and I am grateful.

"I will sign with them if everything we have spoken is in the contract.

"I want a contract that's convenient for both parties.

"For me it is very important (to play with )regularity, also the economic side; for now everything is advanced and I (will) sign for three years."
