"So to say I'm confident would mean I know every side, I don't, I leave that to the club. What I do know is that the club want Callum to sign.
"Callum knows how I feel, I've spoken to him. I think he can be absolutely central to this team. We all care for the players at this club, particularly the young players - it's important I show that. Then the decision will be his and the club's together."
