‘It is just a number’: Jordan Pickford undaunted by £30m Everton move via The Guardian

• Pickford was confident of saving penalty to earn England Under-21s a point
• ‘It’s my job to be a goalkeeper and keep the ball out of the net’
After the week he has had, it is no surprise to learn that Jordan Pickford has always backed himself. The penalty save near the end of England’s opening match at the Under-21 European Championship to earn a 0-0 draw against Sweden on Friday came 24 hours after he became the third most expensive goalkeeper in history and meant that Everton’s £30m signing has already shown he can handle the big occasion.

“It’s just a number isn’t it?” Pickford responded when asked whether he would be fazed by such a costly transfer fee. “It’s my job to be a goalkeeper and keep the ball out of the net and that’s what I’ve done. I’ve kept a clean sheet. It’s just a number, it doesn’t affect me.”
