Chelsea Ready to Sign Jordan Pickford

England and Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has attracted the attention of Chelsea. Former goalkeeper Shay Given believes that if the player shows even the slightest interest, the “aristocrats” will not miss the chance to sign him and will act immediately. This is reported by Goal.com reports .

Speaking through BOYLE Sports, Shay Given admitted he was surprised that there had been almost no transfer rumours surrounding Jordan Pickford, despite the goalkeeper’s consistent performances over the years. The 32-year-old joined Everton from Sunderland in 2017 and has spent ten seasons at Goodison Park, becoming one of the team’s key pillars.

The experienced goalkeeper’s career and statistics

The experienced goalkeeper has made 358 appearances for Everton to date, keeping 100 clean sheets. He has also remained England’s first-choice goalkeeper for many years and holds the record for appearances at World Cups.

Pickford’s current contract with the Merseyside club runs until June 2029. Its long-term nature, along with the player’s satisfaction with his role at the club, may have kept transfer rumours surrounding him under control.

How likely is a move to Chelsea?

According to Shay Given, goalkeepers generally become more experienced and reliable as they get older. There is no doubt that the 32-year-old Pickford can continue playing at the highest level for many years.

The expert believes that if Jordan expressed a desire to join another team, Chelsea’s management would immediately enter negotiations. Nevertheless, Pickford is reportedly happy at Everton and loyal to the team, which is why no major changes have taken place in his career so far.
