Jordan Pickford is happy to keep focusing on himself and his Everton development despite continuing conversations surrounding his competition at international level.
The shot-stopper was crucial as the Blues came away from their Merseyside derby clash with Liverpool on Saturday with a 0-0 draw. The England No.1 produced a string of stunning stops to frustrate the visitors, while at the other end of the pitch Frank Lampard's squad had numerous opportunities of their own to secure the victory.
Conversation over recent weeks has centred around the competition for Pickford's place in Gareth Southgate's England squad with some predicting that Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale or Dean Henderson could step up to the role. However, the Everton man is happy to brush those thoughts to one side and solely focus on improving for his club.
