Everton may reportedly need to sell goalkeeper Jordan Pickford after recent links with Chelsea.
Pickford, 28, is a high-profile keeper that’s the England number one at this year’s World Cup in Qatar.
The Sun claimed last week that Chelsea boss Graham Potter now has the Everton shot-stopper on his radar as a potential transfer target. Apparently, the Blues are going to monitor him at the World Cup tournament and he’s an alternative target to Brighton’s Robert Sanchez.
Everton may sell Jordan Pickford
Journalist Dean Jones has shared an interest line on Chelsea’s goalkeeper target.
It’s been claimed that Everton may need to make a big sale for financial reasons, with £30million man Pickford one of the names that could be scarified.
When discussing the Pickford and Chelsea links, Jones told GIVEMESPORT: “If you’re looking for a replacement, then obviously Jordan Pickford is an interesting one.
“He’s England’s number one.
“Everton, we’re led to believe are going to need to make one more big sale in the near future.
“If that’s the case, then Pickford could be the one.”
Pickford ticks a lot of boxes as a goalkeeper, so he’s definitely good enough to step up to a club side playing in Europe.
There’s been question marks around his shot-stopping ability over the years, but it definitely feels like he’s maturing and improving as he reaches the prime age of his career.
His presence at the back is definitely something that could bring a lot to the line-up.
If he did move to Stamford Bridge, you could picture him having a similar impact to Aaron Ramsdale’s success at Arsenal.
In our view, he’s a decent option for the Chelsea hierarchy to consider. However, if a more proven keeper on the Champions League stage does crop up as available Pickford may not be a first choice.
