Jordan Pickford undergoes medical in Poland while on England duty after agreeing £30million Everton move

Jordan Pickford has undergone a medical in Poland as Everton aim to wrap up a deal to make him the most expensive signing in their history.

It had initially been suggested that Pickford would wait until England's involvement in the Under-21 European Championship was over before taking the medical tests required to make him an Everton player.

However, with Pickford entitled to a three-week break once the tournament finishes, Everton sent a delegation to Kielce on Wednesday to do the medical to ensure the business can be concluded before England's opening game against Sweden on Friday.

Pickford made it clear last week that he wanted all speculation over his future put to one side once Euro 2017 started, as he believes England have excellent claims of becoming champions at this level for the first time since 1984.
