Everton officially announced that he will renew his contract with a 36-year-old meritorious captain, and 369 Premier League games in 16 years and create the soul of the blue shirt

On the evening of June 27, the Premier League Everton Club officially announced that 36-year-old meritorious captain Shemus Coleman renewed his contract with the team for one year. The Irish veteran will continue to play in a blue shirt when the team bids goodson Park and moves to the new home Hil Dickinson Stadium in its first season.

Coleman has joined Everton from Ireland Sligo Wanderers for £60,000 in 2009 and has been playing for the Toffees for 16 years. He became the club's record-holder of the Premier League era with 369 Premier League appearances (326 starts), contributing 22 goals and 24 assists. Despite being plagued by injuries last season, the club still chose to trust this spiritual leader. After the official announcement, Coleman said emotionally: "I love Everton deeply. Being able to continue to play for this extraordinary club means everything to me and my family." He specifically mentioned the new stadium and the new era. "With everyone's efforts, we entered the grand new home court, and lay a bright future under the leadership of an ambitious new boss. I am eager to participate."

For the team's head coach David Moyes, Coleman was full of respect: "He is the perfect coach leading the new era, and his coaching ability after returning last season has been fully proven. As the person who brought me to Everton, he is well versed in the club spirit, is well aware of the daily standards, and understands the meaning of wearing a blue robe."

Moyes was also very pleased with his favorite disciple's contract renewal and praised his multiple values: "Shemers is far more than a player. His leadership, professionalism and human brilliance are unparalleled. He is an important pillar in the difficult times of the club, and the influence of the locker room is particularly critical." Moyes emphasized Coleman's role in the period of change: "It is the time of change, and I need a messenger who can convey the 'Everton player spirit'. Shemers has always practiced this, and I am sure he will continue to play a core role in the new era."

At the same time, Everton is actively promoting the renewal of his contract with young central defender Jarrard Branswet, who has just turned 23, and providing a new contract to midfielder Idrisa Gayer. Gaye led the top five European leagues last season with 133 attempts and 80 successful steals. On the other hand, centre-back Michael Keane and forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who have played for many years, are expected to leave the team after their contract expires next week. It is reported that the club is in contact with Fulham defender Kenny Tate and Villarreal attacker Tirno Barry.
