Jordan Pickford’s journey with Everton began in 2017, when he arrived from Sunderland for a then-British record £30 million fee for a goalkeeper. At the time, eyebrows were reportedly raised over the price
for a 23-year-old with one senior England cap, but Pickford has since silenced doubters with 329 appearances, four player of the year awards (including the last three seasons), and a reputation as one of the Premier League’s most reliable shot-stoppers. A development reportedly related to Pickford has signalled a sense of stability from Everton’s management.
Reports claim that Jordan Pickford is poised to commit his future to the Toffees with a new contract. The 31-year-old, whose current deal runs until June 2027, has reportedly agreed terms on an extension that underscores his pivotal role at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium. An official announcement is said to be made within days, delivering a seismic boost to Everton as they navigate the turbulent waters of Premier League survival. Reports also claim that the news follows hot on the heels of captain James Tarkowski’s two-year contract renewal earlier this month.
In the 2024-25 season, Jordan Pickford’s total save percentage was 78.1%, conceding just 12 goals in 10 matches
Since cementing his role as England’s number one at the 2018 World Cup, Jordan Pickford has amassed 79 caps, placing him fourth on the all-time list for England goalkeepers. Last week, he etched his name deeper into the Three Lions’ lore, surpassing Gordon Banks’ record with an eighth consecutive clean sheet in England’s 3-0 Nations League rout of Wales on October 7, 2025. It’s been over a year since he last conceded for his country, a 2-1 loss to Greece in September 2024, a run that includes matches against Italy, Spain, and Brazil.
Reports claim that the timing of the extension is no coincidence. Everton, currently 14th with 11 points, face a defining stretch with fixtures against Manchester City and Liverpool. Jordan Pickford’s presence between the sticks, coupled with Tarkowski’s renewed commitment reportedly offers a foundation for Sean Dyche to build on as he integrates young talents like Jarrad Branthwaite and Vitaliy Mykolenko.
