Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford believes that he is ready to be the England first-choice keeper during the World Cup in Russia this month.
Pickford is currently the favorite to wear the Three Lions number one jersey and started during Gareth Southgate’s sides 2-1 win over Nigeria during the past weekend. Southgate also said after the match that the selection choice was “a bit of a statement”.
Pickford did not do his chances any harm and he churned out a decent display against the African giants.
The first-choice position is expected to be a battle between Jack Butland and Pickford.
