Pickford agrees terms on new Everton contract

England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has agreed terms over a new deal with Everton.

The 31-year-old joined the Toffees in 2017 for £30m, a British record fee for a goalkeeper at the time.

Sources have told BBC Sport an announcement will be made in the coming days.

Pickford, whose current deal expires in 2027, has won Everton’s player of the year award four times, including the past three seasons.

Pickford has made 329 appearances for Everton since joining from boyhood club Sunderland.

He has played a major role in helping Everton retain their Premier League status despite managerial sackings, financial rule breaches and points deductions in recent seasons.

He has won 79 caps for England and has been first choice for the Three Lions since the 2018 World Cup.

Pickford broke a long-standing record set by Gordon Banks last week by recording an eighth consecutive clean sheet in the Three Lions’ 3-0 win against Wales.
