Jordan Pickford has signed a new-six year contract with Everton.
Pickford became the Blues’ erstwhile record signing when he joined for £30 million from Sunderland and went on to scoop a trio of awards in his debut season.
He became England’s youngest-ever goalkeeper at a World Cup finals and was integral as Gareth Southgate’s side reached the semi-final during the summer.
The 24-year-old has now pledged his long-term future to Goodison Park with an improved deal which is set to expire at the end of June 2024.
He said: “When I made the move last year I thought Everton would be a great club to come to and the right step in my career.
“Getting the opportunity to become England’s no.1 was down to being at Everton, I believe, and being able to put in solid performances week in and week out.
“Coming to Everton, a massive club with a massive history and seeing how passionate and determined the fans are, it’s inspired me to perform week in and week out and it’s moved my career on, without question.
“I want to play as many games as I can for the club, that’s my goal now.
“Hopefully, I can continue to progress, become a better goalkeeper each and every day and keep that England No. 1 shirt as well. That’s another aim.
“This is a great club for me and, hopefully, we can get the success for the fans to earn the right to be a legend at Everton one day, each and every one of us.”
