The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton. The Blues defender hailed Pickford’s shot-stopping, distribution and presence. He also tipped the 24-year-old to be England’s number one at this summer’s World Cup finals in Russia. The Liverpool Echo, meanwhile, features praise for the Blues’ goalkeeping coach, Martyn Margetson. Danny Gabbidon – who played with Margetson at Cardiff City and was also in several Wales squads when the former Manchester City stopper was their keeper coach – says Pickford “will improve no end working with him”.
The Daily Mail carries quotes from Michael Keane, who says Everton stopper Jordan Pickford “can go all the way to the top”.
