Jordan Pickford Agrees New Deal with Everton

Jordan Pickford, the England goalkeeper, has reached an agreement on a new contract with Everton.

The 31-year-old joined the Toffees in 2017 for a then British record fee of £30 million for a goalkeeper.

According to sources reported by BBC Sport, an official announcement regarding the new deal is expected in the coming days.

Pickford's current contract runs until 2027, and he has been recognized as Everton's Player of the Year on four occasions, including in each of the last three seasons.

This contract extension is a significant boost for the club, which recently secured captain James Tarkowski with a new two-year deal earlier this month.

Since joining Everton from his boyhood club Sunderland, Pickford has made 329 appearances.

He has been instrumental in helping Everton maintain their Premier League status despite challenges such as managerial changes, financial rule violations, and points deductions in recent seasons.

On the international stage, Pickford has earned 79 caps for England and has been the first-choice goalkeeper for the national team since the 2018 World Cup.

Recently, he broke a long-standing record held by Gordon Banks by achieving his eighth consecutive clean sheet during England's 3-0 victory over Wales.

Remarkably, Pickford has not conceded a goal for England in over a year, with his last goal against him occurring in a 2-1 Nations League defeat to Greece.
