Everton reportedly value their goalkeeper Jordan Pickford at a minimum of £30 million amidst interest from Premier League rivals Arsenal and Chelsea. According to the Spanish outlet Fichajes, the two London clubs are keen to sign the 30-year-old England international during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Pickford has established himself as one of the top goalkeepers in the Premier League over the past six years. Despite occasional errors, his outstanding shot-stopping abilities have made him a regular for both Everton and the English national team, where he has earned 60 caps.
At club level, Pickford has made nearly 300 appearances for Everton, keeping 76 clean sheets while conceding 398 goals. His impressive performances have attracted the attention of high-profile clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea.
Arsenal may be in the market for a new goalkeeper, with doubts surrounding the future of their current custodian Aaron Ramsdale. Pickford is reportedly seen as a potential replacement for the Gunners.
Chelsea, on the other hand, could also seek a new goalkeeper after Robert Sanchez failed to impress following his move from Brighton & Hove Albion last summer. Pickford is believed to be a target for the Blues as they look to strengthen their goalkeeping department.
Everton’s £30 million-plus valuation for Pickford reflects his consistent excellence between the posts. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal or Chelsea will be willing to meet the Toffees’ demands to secure the services of the experienced English goalkeeper.
