Hughton’s current deal is set to expire at the end of the season.
“At the moment I’m just getting on with the job,” he said in The Guardian.
“Yes, my contract is up at the end of the season but my priority is just to get on and do the best job that I can and let other things take care of themselves.
“From my point of view where I want to be is manager of Newcastle United. That is where I am and I would like that to continue.
“But the most important thing is to get the results because I am also conscious that, as managers, we can go through bad periods. Things can change very quickly in football so all I want to do is concentrate on the job at the moment.”
