Jordan Pickford agrees shock new Everton deal amid Chelsea transfer interest… with one huge clause in it
JORDAN PICKFORD has given struggling Everton a huge boost by agreeing a new deal with NO relegation clause.
The 28-year-old England keeper’s contract runs out next summer.

But he has bought into new boss Sean Dyche’s Goodison plans.
And he is set to sign £150,000-a-week terms — with no get-out should they go down.
Dyche confirmed: “Jordan’s signing a new contract.
“It is a sign he is enjoying the new regime and has accepted what we are looking to offer.
“He’s very open to continuing to develop here.”
Everton are also taking a chance by not demanding Pickford take a wage cut if the worst happens.
Getting relegated from the top flight for the first time since 1951 would cost £100m.

And that would be a huge hit on the back of the club’s £372m loss over the last three years.
Pickford was a £30million arrival from Sunderland back in 2017.
Meanwhile, the Toffees have been charged with failing to control their players in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Leeds.
That follows their £40,000 FA fine for the same offence against Liverpool last week.
