Sean Dyche ‘makes Jordan Pickford’s new Everton contract a priority in a bid to avoid interest from Man United’ but the England goalkeeper wants to ‘DOUBLE his £100,000 a week salary’
- Everton boss Sean Dyche is keen to link goalkeeper Jordan Pickford to a new deal
- Dyche reportedly sees Pickford as a key figure in his underperforming squad.
- A new contract could help stave off reported interest from Man United and Spurs
New Everton boss Sean Dyche is already making plans for the future and reportedly wants Jordan Pickford to sign a new contract with the Blues.
Pickford’s current contract with the Toffees expires next year and the club are keen to try to link the England goalkeeper to a new long-term contract.
Manchester United and Tottenham are reportedly interested in a possible deal for the 28-year-old, but current club Everton want to protect themselves from circulating clubs, according to Sun.
Dyche regards Pickford as a crucial part of his Goodison Park plans and has made a new contract for the goalkeeper a top priority.
It is believed that Everton will need to stay in the Premier League this season for Pickford to even consider extending his stay at one of the longest-serving clubs in the top flight.

Those hopes hit another bump in the road with relegation-battling Wolves and West Ham both picking up valuable points in their quest to avoid knockout on Saturday.
Pickford will be between the sticks in Monday’s Merseyside derby when Everton travel to Anfield to face Jurgen Klopp’s struggling Liverpool.
Reports suggest Pickford and the club are staying apart on their assessments over a new deal with the goalkeeper who wants to double his current salary of £100,000 a week. But the club has so far refused to agree to such demands.
United could see Pickford as a potential replacement for goalkeeper David de Gea. The Spaniard is in negotiations over a new contract at Old Trafford, but at the age of 32 he only has a few years left in his prime.
While Spurs are likely to enter the search for a new goalkeeper in the summer transfer window after Hugo Lloris’s struggles between the sticks during the current season.
