During that time, he’s cemented a place as England’s number one. Pickford has won 80 caps for the Three Lions and has featured in four major tournaments.

Discussing his decision to extend at Everton, Pickford said he wants ‘build a legacy’.

“I’m delighted,” he told evertontv. “Delighted to get it done – it’s an extra two years, so four years in total. I’m over the moon and it gives me the opportunity to build a legacy for myself here, move forward and build this Club to where we want to be.

“Everton is a really special club to me. Coming from Sunderland as a young lad and growing into a man here, it’s been a special time for me and my family.

“I think everyone’s seen the changes and how I’ve developed over time, but I’m still that lad who loves to keep the ball out of the net. It’s been Everton who have helped me develop and a lot of hard work’s been put in as well.

“It’s always felt like a natural fit for me, with the fans and the passion – it’s second to none and something I thrive off.

“It’s been a mega journey so far.”
