Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope wants the England spot of Everton’s Jordan Pickford

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope is hoping to be in goal for the Three Lions at next summer’s European Championships as he aims to snatch the starting berth from Everton’s Jordan Pickford.

The Toffees star was manager Gareth Southgate’s first-choice at the 2018 World Cup in Russia and was in goal during the qualifiers for the Euros.

Pickford’s place in England’s starting XI is under huge threat, though, with Pope putting in top performances for Burnley this term.

The 28-year-old has kept most clean sheets (11) in the Premier League thus far and will fancy his chances of pipping everyone to the Golden Glove with only nine games left.
