Jordan Pickford has set his sights on emulating Neville Southall after committing his long-term future to Everton.
Pickford joined Everton from Sunderland for £30m in 2017 and has made 222 appearances for the Merseyside club. The 28-year-old was approaching the last 12 months of his contract.
However, and as reported by the ECHO on Wednesday night, the England international has now signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract with the Goodison Park club. It is claimed that Pickford’s new deal does not include a relegation release clause.
