Jordan Pickford not fazed by huge transfer fee in move to Everton

England Under-21 goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has dismissed the pressure over his £30 million price tag to refocus on Euro 2017.

The 23-year-old became the world's third most expensive shot-stopper when he completed his move to Everton from Sunderland on Thursday.

He capped a stunning week with a penalty save in the Young Lions' opening 0-0 draw with Sweden at Euro 2017 in Poland on Friday.

Pickford is also now the most expensive British goalkeeper but insisted his record-breaking fee will not faze him.
