# Everton to reward star man with improved new contract

Everton will offer Jordan Pickford a new and improved contract at the club, according to a report from [the Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/jordan-pickford-in-line-for-improved-everton-contract-vz688xcwr?CMP=Sprkr-_-Editorial-_-TimesSport-_-Unspecified-_-TWITTER).

The goalkeeper enjoyed an impressive first season on an individual basis at Goodison Park and went on to star in England’s run to the semi-final stage of this summer’s World Cup.

Speculation has since developed since Pickford’s exploits in Russia, with Chelsea having reportedly lined the player up as a potential replacement for Thibaut Courtois, who looks set for a move to Real Madrid.

However, the Toffees are looking to tie Pickford down to a new contract on Merseyside. Despite the 24-year-old having four years remaining on his current deal with the club, Everton want to mark the ex-Sunderland’s star development by improving his terms at the club.

Pickford is set to be a key man for the Toffees in between the sticks this season as Marco Silva looks to bring success back to Goodison Park.
