Everton have reportedly made Jordan Pickford
available for transfer, amid speculation that Manchester United are looking to
snap him up.
The England international has had a
mixed campaign at club level since playing a major part in the Three Lions’ run
to the last four of the World Cup.
Pickford was criticised for his
display in last month’s 3-2 loss to Newcastle United, which he followed up with
back-to-back clean sheets against Chelsea and West Ham United.
However, the 25-year-old was caught
up in a scuffle outside a Sunderland bar last weekend, leading to some stern
words from manager Marco Silva.
Pickford now faces a fight for his
future as Everton are willing to cash in for £50m, with that money going
straight towards bringing in Nick Pope from Burnley for a fifth of the price.
Man United may be monitoring
developments as it has been claimed that they have identified the ex-Sunderland
stopper as a possible replacement for David de Gea, who is looking increasingly
unlikely to sign a new contract.
Atletico Madrid keeper Jan Oblak is
another rumoured target for the Red Devils.
