Chelsea target ​Pickford set for Everton contract talks

Everton will offer a new contract to their goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, Sky Sports understand.

Pickford enjoyed a great World Cup campaign as England No.1 and is now on extended holiday.

The Toffees are waiting for his comeback to try and tie him down on a new long-term contract, although the keeper signed just last summer in a £30m move from Sunderland.

His eye-catching performances in Russia made Chelsea identify him as a potential replacement for Thibaut Courtois.

However, with a new, improved deal on the table, Pickford is expected to remain at Goodison Park.
