Everton announced on Thursday afternoon that they had completed a club-record five-year deal to sign Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
Toffees manager Ronald Koeman had been keen to bring in a new stopper to provide competition for Joel Robles and Maarten Stekelenburg and he has got his man.
Pickford, who is currently in Poland taking part in the European Under-21 Championships with England, only made his Premier League debut in January 2016 but established himself as the Black Cats’ first choice stopper last season by making 29 top flight appearances.
Even though he couldn’t prevent them being relegated to the Championship, the 23-year-old impressed between the sticks and he will link up with his new club after the international tournament.
Everton supporters were quick to have their say on their first summer signing via social media, and they were understandably delighted about signing a player with so much potential, as well as getting their transfer business done early.
