“Paul Joyce Drops BOMBSHELL: Everton’s Next TWO Superstars Set to Sign MEGA Contracts Following Tarkowski’s Lead!”
Everton step up efforts to secure key players amid growing interest from rival clubs.
James Tarkowski has signed a new contract with Everton, extending his stay at the Hill Dickinson Stadium until at least 2028.
The 31-year-old centre-back has played every minute of the Toffees’ campaign so far and remains a vital part of David Moyes’ plans.
Tarkowski’s renewal follows that of fellow defender Jarrad Branthwaite, who committed his future to the club in July.
Branthwaite is currently sidelined after suffering a setback in his recovery but is expected to return shortly after the international break.
Attention has now turned to other key players, with James Garner next in line for a contract extension.
The midfielder has been one of Everton’s standout performers this season, featuring in every game and playing a pivotal role in their improved form.
Primarily operating in central midfield but occasionally filling in at left-back, Garner’s versatility and consistency have earned widespread praise.
The 24-year-old has even been tipped for an England call-up, though no official recognition has yet come.
With Garner’s current deal entering its final years, Everton are keen to secure his long-term future and prevent outside interest.
According to Paul Joyce, new contracts for both Garner and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford are expected to be confirmed “shortly,” following Tarkowski’s extension.
Meanwhile, discussions are also underway regarding Vitalii Mykolenko’s future. The Ukrainian left-back’s current contract expires next summer, and while talks are ongoing, a final agreement has not yet been reached.
Mykolenko was linked with a move to Napoli during the summer transfer window but opted to remain in the Premier League.
Despite recent injury setbacks, the 26-year-old continues to be Moyes’ first-choice option on the left side of defence, with Everton eager to secure his services beyond 2025.
