Toffee’s defender set for new dealDefender David Weir looks set to sign a new one-year deal with Everton in a bid to test himself in the Champions League.
The Scotsman said: "We've just had a great season and I hope all of the guys who helped us finish in fourth place are around next season to enjoy it.
"Alessandro Pistone and Alan Stubbs have been linked with other teams but I hope they stay - I'd miss them.
"I'm happy to stay and sign a one-year deal instead of two because I know I'll need to keep working hard and playing well to earn another one next year. I don't want to sign for two then put my feet up.
"I want to be there to help Everton do well next season.
"A lot of people predicted we'd go down and it was nice to prove them wrong.
"Next year will be tough. Every year a club does well then can't keep it going.
"It happened to Ipswich a few years ago so we need to ensure we're no one-season wonders.
"There's no reason why we should be. We have good team spirit but I've always found in football there's a good team spirit in every dressing room when your side is winning."
