Jordan Pickford closing in on signing new Everton contract

Jordan Pickford is set for a new deal at Everton to prolong his stay until 2029, with the stopper very much happy at the club and under David Moyes.

According to The Sun, Everton are about to secure the long-term future of one of their most important stars in Jordan Pickford. The England No.1 is set to sign a new four-year deal at Merseyside and prolong his stay with the club until 2029, which will also come with a significant pay rise.

The previous regime at Everton got criticised for their transfer spending on players who could not make a mark. There have been clear evidence of the club’s ability to spend, but not on the right players for their system, as despite the investment before, the club has brushed with the prospect of relegation on more than one occasion.

However, one signing that regime made that stood out was that of Jordan Pickford, with the former Sunderland star proving his worth for every penny spent on his transfer. The keeper has not only secured his position as Everton’s No.1 but has been England’s primary choice, and that might be the case heading to next year’s World Cup.

Despite being one of the best stoppers in the league, there are not many clubs chasing Pickford. The reason might be his happiness at Merseyside and how settled he is with the club. Pickford is also a mainstay under David Moyes, and even before the Scotsman arrived midway through last season, the England No.1 has not missed a single game since 2022, and has already racked up over 320 appearances for the club.

With Everton eager to strengthen their squad, one position they need not worry about is the one between the sticks. Pickford has two more years left on his deal, and now the club are set to reward him with a new four-year contract and a massive pay rise for the £6 million-a-year mainstay.

Jordan Pickford to sign Everton deal

Pickford is all set to sign a new four-year deal at Everton, which will come with a significant pay rise, as well as annual increments. The club had been chasing Mark Travers from Bournemouth, and it appears they have secured the second-choice keeper to play as Pickford’s understudy next season.

Pickford, for his part, could have had the opportunity to switch sides and probably join one of the big hitters in the top flight. However, his commitment to the club is a sign of how settled he’s there, as well as in the England setup. The Everton fans will be thrilled to see the keeper pen fresh terms and commit his future for the long haul.
