A new update has been provided on Jordan Pickford’s Everton contract, and the fans have had a lot to say about it.
Jordan Pickford is currently away from Merseyside on international duty with England, but has been ever-present in the Everton side once again this season, playing every minute of their opening three Premier League games.
The Toffees have made a positive start to the new campaign with two wins out of three, and Pickford has already picked up one clean sheet.

Everton brought in the likes of Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall this summer as David Moyes looks to revamp the team, but that doesn’t mean he wants to change every player.

Everton fans are excited about Jordan Pickford signing a new deal
TBR Football exclusively revealed that Pickford was closing in on a new Everton deal back in July, as he has been convinced to sign due to new developments at the club.
These include Jarrad Branthwaite’s contract extension, the arrival of the Friedkin Group, and the new stadium, with a lot of positivity surrounding the Toffees currently.
Sky Sports News has provided an update on this, by reporting that Everton want Pickford to stay at the club for the rest of his career, and have opened up talks with him to make that happen.

The contract is expected to take Pickford past his 36th birthday, should he sign it, with Everton wanting him to remain at the club until he retires, and that has been met positively by fans.
One fan believes this contract news could have a ripple effect, as they said, “This is how you treat legends and inspire loyalty from others.”
Another praised the loyalty of Pickford himself, “Could have easily joined United, City or Chelsea. But has been loyal. Incredible keeper after his initial couple of shaky years. Get it done.”
Another fan said, “Let him stay, he’s worked hard for his team, and England believes in him as the best shot stopper.”
A different supporter claimed that the goalkeeper is a “Great servant of the club.”
One fan was quick to question anyone who doubts Pickford’s ability by saying, “Anyone who denies his ability, compare his five greatest saves with any keeper in the league. There won’t be many better.”
Meanwhile, it was also claimed that he deserves a contract for “as long as he wants.”
Jordan Pickford had attracted interest from elsewhere
Pickford has been loyal to Everton since he first joined the club from Sunderland in 2017, but his consistent performances have brought him admirers from elsewhere.
Chelsea, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich were all recently interested in Pickford, and his performances for club and country helped to achieve that point.
Even though Everton have struggled in recent seasons, Pickford’s consistency has remained, which is one of the big reasons they were able to fight several relegation battles successfully.
This is another reason Everton want to extend Pickford’s deal, to ward off any potential outside interest in him.
