# Everton: Toffees yet to sign off on new Jordan Pickford deal

**The [Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) hierarchy are yet to sign off on a new contract for Toffees goalkeeper [Jordan Pickford](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/jordan-pickford/).**

### The Lowdown: Pickford’s contract situation

As things stand, the Englishman’s [contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jordan-pickford/profil/spieler/130164) at Goodison Park is set to expire in the summer of 2024.

This season has seen the 28-year-old, who is one of the club’s top earners with a wage of [£100,000 per week](https://fbref.com/en/squads/d3fd31cc/2022-2023/wages/Everton-Wage-Details), feature in [all but one](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jordan-pickford/leistungsdaten/spieler/130164) of Everton’s games in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/).

However, some concerning behind-the-scenes details have emerged ahead of the upcoming January transfer window regarding Pickford and his future on Merseyside.

### The Latest: Behind-the-scenes issues

According to a report from the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11577167/Man-United-Tottenham-Chelsea-consider-Everton-goalkeeper-Jordan-Pickford.html), Everton are yet to sign off on the new five-year contract that Pickford apparently agreed to sign before the World Cup.

The report adds that this delay has led to increased doubt over the shot-stopper’s future at Goodison Park and has alerted the likes of [Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/), [Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) and [Chelsea](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-news/) to the situation.

### The Verdict: A mistake from Everton

Even though Frank Lampard’s side have had a tough season in terms of their league results, Pickford has shown how important figure he is for the team.

For example, having faced the fourth-highest number of shots on target in the Premier League ([81](https://fbref.com/en/comps/9/keepers/Premier-League-Stats)), the Englishman has made [62](https://fbref.com/en/comps/9/keepers/Premier-League-Stats) saves, the second-highest of any goalkeeper in the division.

This has given him a save percentage of [79%](https://fbref.com/en/comps/9/keepers/Premier-League-Stats) – the fourth-highest in the league – in addition to his overall performance rating of 6.93/10 from [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/31/Show/England-Everton), making him the third-highest rated player at Everton.

Overall, we feel that if the Goodison Park board have delayed giving the green light to Pickford’s new contract, this has been a big mistake on their part, especially if the 28-year-old ends up having his head turned by one of the prospective suitors mentioned in the report.
