Hugo Lloris transfer set to hand Premier League status to Jordan Pickford

the custodian for Everton, will assume a formidable Premier League role.

There were more rumours about his departure from North London on Friday.

According to reports, talks are in progress as Los Angeles FC and

Spurs settle on the specifics of the January transfer to the Major League Soccer.

After joining from Lyon in 2012 for £11 million and going on to maintain 151 clean sheets in 444 games,

Lloris wants to end his career somewhere since,

under new manager Ange Postecoglou, he is only expected to play a supporting role.

His resignation after 11 years and four months also meant that someone else

will take over as the Premier League’s longest-serving custodian,

and who could that someone be? None other than Pickford, who is 29 years old.

He will assume the role of most seasoned shot stopper in the league after spending

six years and six months at Goodison Park. This is linked to Ederson of Manchester City on a specific day,

but Pickford has been a top-tier custodian for about eight years already,

given that prior to joining the Blues,

he started with Sunderland, making his debut in January 2016.

It is impossible to overstate the importance of longevity and loyalty in the game.

Despite constant criticism of his play,

rumours of a transfer being discussed at different points in his career,

and other factors that have affected the team recently,

he has stayed and developed into an essential member of the Everton team.

He has currently appeared in 260 games for the team across all competitions,

recording 69 clean sheets during that span.

In the absence of Seamus Coleman,

the player with the longest tenure in the league at 15 years,

he has led the squad and cemented his position as England’s top player.

He was rewarded earlier this year with a long-term deal that runs through 2027,

and he is expected to play a significant role in the club’s operations as

they carry out Sean Dyche’s vision and get ready for a brand-new enterprise at the iconic waterfront stadium.
