Jack Grealish’s season could be OVER! Everton loanee may require surgery on foot fracture to leave England World Cup squad dream in tatters

Better news for Everton, though, was confirmation that James Garner signed a long-term deal with the club on Friday. The 24-year-old is a key man for Moyes, and his new contract is a huge boost for the Toffees.

“James Garner has committed his long-term future to Everton by signing a new four-and-a-half year contract with the Club until the end of June 2030,” a statement read on the club’s official website.

On the new deal, Garner said: “I’m really excited to commit my future to Everton. I’m very grateful for all the support and all the love I’ve had over the past three-and-a-half years, but it’s just the start.

“I’ve seen the progress we’ve made recently. Now I want to be part of that progress and get us back to where the Club deserves to be. I feel like I’m now a part of the Club and I’m hoping to be a part of it for a long time.

“I’ve got family members who are all Evertonians, so I know exactly the passion and, like I’ve just said, what it means to play for such a massive football club like this.”
