Jordan Pickford Signs New Everton Contract

Jordan Pickford has signed a new contract with Everton, he will play for the Premier League side till June 2027.

The 28-year-old, who was due to enter the last 12 months of his existing deal this summer, had been linked with a move to Tottenham but has agreed to stay at Goodison Park despite the Toffees sitting 16th in the Premier League, just one point above the relegation zone.

Pickford, a £30 million ($36 million) signing from Sunderland in 2017, has made more than 200 appearances for Everton.

The club, who appointed former Burnley boss Sean Dyche as their new manager in late January, is languishing in 16th place in the Premier League, one point above the relegation zone.

“It’s massive to sign this new contract at such a special club for me,” Pickford told Everton TV. “The support I’ve had from everyone at the club since I joined… has been so important to my family and me. I’m happy here and so is my family. We love it at Everton.

“Everton is a massive club. The past few seasons have not been what we wanted but we now have a manager who I believe will point us in the right direction and get us up the table. It’s definitely my aim to be successful at this club.”

He added: “This contract will take me to more than 10 years at Everton and I want to build a legacy here to put myself up there with the likes of Neville Southall to be one of the best ‘keepers to have played for Everton.”
