David Moyes has now shared his initial thoughts on a potential new deal for Jordan Pickford on Merseyside.
The summer transfer window proved an extremely successful one for Everton, who added some real quality to the squad.
An exciting summer of spending has translated onto the pitch as Moyes has taken six points from a possible nine.
Amid the promise on the pitch, The Friedkin Group are looking to tie some of their top players down to new contracts.
Everton News understands that Everton want to reward Pickford with a bumper new deal following his efforts in recent years.

David Moyes hails Jordan Pickford amid Everton contract talks
Pickford was hailed for his performance for England against Serbia on Tuesday evening, despite it being another quiet 90 minutes between the sticks.
The Washington-born goalkeeper has been exceptional for club and country for years now, and a reward for his service could be on the horizon.

Speaking to the media on Friday, Moyes responded to the questions surrounding the speculation of a new deal for Pickford.
“Well, I think he’s a really good age for a goalkeeper. He’s gotten more experienced as he goes along. He’s the main goalkeeper for England and he’s done brilliantly well since I’ve been here,” said Moyes.
“I had him at Sunderland as well when I first started. No doubt, we will be doing everything we can to get Jordan re-signed.”
Jack Grealish praised Pickford for his England clean sheet earlier this week, with the 31-year-old showcasing his talent on the international stage for the Three Lions.
Pickford has been a huge part of Everton’s Premier League status in recent years and he is overdue a reward for his efforts.
Jordan Pickford deserves improved Everton contract
Everton News also understands that Everton want Pickford to end his career on Merseyside, with a new deal potentially offering him that.
The 31-year-old has more than played his part in keeping Everton afloat over recent years.
And now it is time for him to be rewarded with a new and improved deal as he plays in a much-improved squad following the summer window.
Everton fans deserve the new era under the Friedkins, and players like Pickford also deserve the potential success on the way for the club.
