Ahead of the release of the Premier League retained lists, Everton have taken up the option to extend Asmir Begovic’s deal for a further year – and offered a new contract to fellow goalkeeper Andy Lonergan.

Jonjoe Kenny was also offered fresh terms but has decided to move on in pursuit of a new opportunity elsewhere.

Full-back Kenny, who made 50 Premier League appearances, joined Everton aged nine and spent 16 years with the Club, skippering the Under-23s to Premier League 2 glory in 2017.

In professional age groups, Joe Anderson, Jack Barrett, Elijah Campbell, Liam Higgins, Mackenzie Hunt, Einar Iversen, Mathew Mallon, Sean McAllister and Patrick Nash have all been offered new contracts.

The Club is also in negotiations with Lewis Gibson over a new deal.

Everton wishes to thank all departing players for their contribution throughout their time at the Club.
