Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has signed his new long-term contract at Goodison Park.
Pickford, who has been impressed with new Everton manager Sean Dyche, has instead opted to commit his future to the Toffees until the summer of 2027.
“It’s massive to sign this new contract at such a special club for me,” the goalkeeper told club media.
“The support I’ve had from everyone at the club since I joined as a 22-year-old has been so important to my family and me.
We know we are in a tough place at the moment in the league but I’m eager to help the team improve this season and then aim for success in the future, which will include playing in our new stadium.
“This contract will take me to more than 10 years at Everton and I want to build a legacy here to put myself up there with the likes of Neville Southall to be one of the best keepers to have played for Everton.”
Director of football Kevin Thelwell added: “Jordan is one of the best goalkeepers in world football, so it is a significant boost for us to have a player of his quality and talent commit his long-term future to the club.
“Since signing him in 2017, our Chairman has built a strong relationship with Jordan and his representatives, and this played a big and important part in us getting this new contract agreed.
