Pickford: This Is Why I Joined Blues

Jordan Pickford wants to carry on performing so he can play in “big games” in Europe for Everton, after making his competitive debut against MFK Ruu017eomberok.

The Blues’ new keeper, who joined from Sunderland over the summer for a potential Club-record deal rising to £30million, has had to be patient ahead of his first start for his new club, with Maarten Stekelenburg getting the nod for last week’s Europa League first leg against the Slovakians.

But Pickford was pleased to play his part in helping Everton secure safe passage through to the play-off round, keeping a clean sheet and putting in a commanding display.
