It's expected that talks between the club and the player will take place once the final game of the season takes place against Hibernian on Saturday.
Naismith told Edinburgh News that he's already planning for a longer spell at Hearts whether he is given a permanent contract or not.
The latest odds from talkSPORT Bet though but Naismith firmly at the top of the betting market ahead of former favourite for the job Chris Wilder.

Chris Wilder is 4/1 in the betting market having been 5/4 favourite previously
Chris Wilder was previously the 5/4 favourite for the Hearts job but his odds have drifted within the past few weeks to 4/1 in the market.
Wilder though is still interested in the Hearts job according to reports in the Daily Record that suggest the door is not yet closed on him taking over at Tynecastle.
Claims in the past have suggested that he wants to stay in England but Hearts remains on the list of options for Wilder's next move in football.
