Jordan Pickford remains settled at Everton and talks over a new contract have not stalled over his salary demands.
Pickford's current deal expires in the summer of 2024 and reports this weekend claimed that there is a pay dispute between him and Goodison Park chiefs but club insiders insist this is categorically not true and the ECHO understands that talks have simply been deferred while Everton’s Premier League status is uncertain.
Pickford joined the Blues from his local club Sunderland for £25million in 2017 following the Black Cats’ relegation. After establishing himself as England’s number one and starring at the World Cup finals during his first campaign on Merseyside, in which he was also named Everton’s Player of the Season, Players’ Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season, he was rewarded with improved terms and a bumper new six-year deal in September 2018.
