"Having been able to see it for myself, I think the new stadium is going to be amazing. I know a lot of Evertonians who are passionate about the history of the Club and how much Goodison has been part of that but this is a new chapter. It's going to be about us enjoying taking on that challenge and creating our own memories there. I think it's going to be a great thing for the Club. Then, with the new owners coming in, I've always said that's not much to do with us as players but it feels like a fresh start for the Club as a whole. Obviously, my part of that is doing my bit and contributing on the pitch. I've still got two years left on my contract after this one, so, 100 per cent, I am looking forward to moving in and hopefully playing my part in getting us moving upwards," says England #1 Jordan88Pickford.
