Jordan Pickford’s Historic England Milestone Amid Everton Contract Discussions

Record-Breaking Performance for England

Jordan Pickford has achieved a remarkable milestone in England’s recent 5-0 victory over Serbia, keeping his seventh consecutive clean sheet and matching Gordon Banks’ long-standing record. The Everton goalkeeper now has the opportunity to surpass the England legend’s record in next month’s match against Latvia.

Current Form and Achievement

Pickford’s impressive run has now extended beyond 10 hours without conceding for England. The match against Serbia proved to be relatively straightforward for the goalkeeper, as the opposition failed to register a single shot on target from their three attempts.

At club level, Pickford has been demonstrating exceptional form, maintaining an impressive 82.5 percent save percentage in the Premier League last season. His performance metrics indicate a strong ability to save shots that would typically beat the average goalkeeper.

Future at Everton

Everton are keen to secure Pickford’s long-term future, with the club planning to open contract talks aimed at keeping their number one goalkeeper for the remainder of his career. The proposed new contract could extend beyond his 36th birthday, with sources indicating that Pickford is happy, settled, and open to committing his remaining years at the highest level to the club.

The 31-year-old goalkeeper is already on track to celebrate a decade with the Blues by 2027, and could potentially break another record, needing 75 more Premier League appearances to surpass Seamus Coleman’s club record in the competition.

International Status

Sky Sports pundits have emphasized Pickford’s consistency for both club and country, noting that his position as England’s number one is secure. His reliable performances for the national team have made the goalkeeper position one of the few areas without question marks for the England manager.
