Pickford in goal for £17m

Reports are claiming Everton will sign Jordan Pickford from Sunderland for £17.

Pickford has been exempt from criticism in Sunderland's unstoppable decline toward relegation, Ronald Koeman has apparently had the 23-year-old in his sights for some time and is reported to be moving in quiclkly to secure his services, to strengthen this vital area of the current Everton squad.

Given the erratic form of both Stekelenburg and Robles, Pickford can be certain of starting next season as Everton's first choice keeper which will boost his England prospects after breaking into the national squad earlier this season.

With the future of Joe Hart still to be settled, Pickford will be hoping to catch the eye of Gareth Southgate and push his claims to be first-choice keeper for the World Cup in Russia next Summer.
