Everton star David Moyes ‘loves’ will be ‘offered’ new deal
David Moyes is looking to tie down his key players to new contracts, as an update is provided on one star by an insider.
Everton have tied Jordan Pickford down to a new contract this season, and the club have plans to offer more players fresh deals.
A football finance expert exclusively told Football Insider Everton’s current position with PSR after previous financial struggles.
Following Everton’s 2-0 win over Fulham the Toffees are currently 13th in the Premier League table, but sit just four points off the Champions League places.
No ‘significant’ update on James Garner contract
James Garner admitted he had “heard nothing” on agreeing a new Everton contract back in October and there seems to have been no further talks.
The Athletic‘s Patrick Boyland, [14 November], states “nothing significant,” has occurred between Garner and the club recently.
“I revealed last season that the club have an option to extend Garner’s contract by a further year, so the situation isn’t as urgent as it sounds,” Boyland said.
“A new deal was discussed under the previous regime, but the changes behind the scenes saw that grind to a halt.
“Moyes loves Garner and sees him as a key player who can push for England selection. The club will offer him a new deal at some stage — watch this space.”
