Overview

• The Times, echoed by BBC and Football Today, reports Jordan Pickford is on the verge of agreeing a four-year extension with Everton.
• Everton had not issued an official confirmation of any agreement at the time of the latest reports.
• The proposed deal would take Pickford beyond his current contract, which runs until 2027.
• The move follows recent extensions for James Tarkowski through 2028 and Jarrad Branthwaite through 2030, with new offers expected for James Garner and Vitalii Mykolenko.
• Pickford’s standing is bolstered by sustained club and international form, including an England record of eight consecutive clean sheets and more than 300 appearances for Everton.
