When Jordan Pickford was brought to Goodison Park in 2017 from Sunderland, it was as a young and promising player. At Everton, with many seasons where the defence has leaked like a sieve and relegation threatened, the goalkeeper has established himself as one of the Premier League’s best goalkeepers. English Goal has pointed out Pickford as the best, so far in the season. Now they are working intensely to get the England national team goalkeeper to take out his signature pen with a broad smile.
Many have asked why Pickford is staying at what has been one of the Premier League’s weakest clubs and for a long time financially shaken. Pickford has loyally stayed.
It should be said that Pickford is one of the goalkeepers who gets the most balls to wrestle with every season, so perhaps this has been a contributing factor to the Englishman’s becoming so skilled?
Now new owners are in place at Everton in the form of The Friedkin Group, according to TBR Football, one of the first things the new management will do is to persuade Pickford to extend his contract that expires in 2027. At 30, Pickford will receive a very attractive offer of a contract as far as 2030, reports the English media.
When Pickford after 296 games for Everton, several seasons in full crisis, has not left the club, we think this is something that persuades the 30-year-old to end his career at the club in his heart.
