Jordan Pickford ready to commit the rest of his career to Everton

Jordan Pickford is reportedly mulling over committing the rest of his career to Everton amid talks over a new contract between the two parties.

According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Jordan Pickford is in talks with Everton over a new contract. The two parties are closing in on finalising an agreement over a long-term deal, and the English international is ready to commit the rest of his career to the Merseyside club.

The rise and rise of Jordan Pickford

Jordan Pickford has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League since joining Everton from Sunderland in a deal worth £30 million, including add-ons, in July 2017. A native of Washington in the Sunderland district, the Englishman began his youth career in his hometown with Washington Envelopes.

However, the experienced goalkeeper spent most of his formative years with Sunderland, joining the Black Cats as an eight-year-old in 2002. The 31-year-old progressed through the ranks at the Wearside club before enjoying his first-team breakthrough in the 2016/17 season. Meanwhile, Pickford has come leaps and bounds during his spell with Everton, and he has been a fixture between the sticks in the last eight years.

The English international has turned out over 300 times thus far for Everton while keeping 89 clean sheets and conceding 446 goals. Meanwhile, Pickford’s stock has been high for most of his spell with the Merseyside club, with widespread reports linking him with several European bigwigs in the last eight years.

What next?

The most recent links have come with Barcelona and Chelsea. However, Jordan Pickford has remained committed to Everton throughout his spell with the Merseyside club, never agitating for a departure from Goodison Park. With Everton moving to a new season at Bramley-Moore Dock in the 2025/25 season, they are keen on holding on to their best assets.

The Toffees have already compelled Jarrad Branthwaite to commit his future to the club, even though he has been a target for several Premier League bigwigs. Pickford will be the next player to sign a new contract at Everton, and recent reports have suggested that the 31-year-old English international is closing in on putting pen to paper on a long-term deal.

The latest report has suggested that Pickford will likely commit the rest of his career to Everton. The news will be music to the ears of the Everton supporters, and it should be a matter of time before the Englishman signs his new contract with the Merseyside club.
