Ashley Young, an experienced defender with more than 20 years of experience, is almost done signing a new contract with Everton, securing his future at Goodison Park. The revelation was initially announced by Natasha Everitt of TalkSport, who gave unique details about the discussions that had taken place this summer.

Now that the little things are taken care of, I’ll sign the deal.
Season Recap: Steering Clear of Relegation
Young’s influence at Everton has been notable, especially in a season fraught with challenges, including a point deduction due to financial regulations. Despite these hurdles, Young helped navigate the team away from relegation troubles. “The Toffees finished the season in 15th, four points clear of the relegation zone,” Everitt reported. This achievement underlines Young’s pivotal role in the squad, not just as a player, but as a leader on and off the pitch.
Career Resilience and Experience
Young’s career has been diverse and noteworthy, having begun at Watford, progressed via Aston Villa, and made major contributions at Manchester United. With Manchester United, he won the FA Cup and Europa League in 2013, in addition to the Premier League triumph. Following his time at Old Trafford, he shown his versatility and skill in elite European divisions with periods at Inter Milan and a return to Villa. At the age of 38, Young is not only still competing at a high level but also lending his wealth of knowledge to TalkSport’s coverage of the European Championship this summer.
