Everton boss Sean Dyche has hailed the leadership of Jordan Pickford.

Dyche says it's significant for the club that the England goalkeeper recently signed a new deal.

He said: “I think Jordan signed a long term deal because he is very happy here and he feels part of what the club is about.

"I think it's useful that people like him and Seamus (Coleman) have been here a number of seasons because they do have a deeper understanding of the club and the ups and downs of it and the challenges and the bigger picture culture – I mean with the fans – and I think that rubs off on other people.

"They have got vast experience of being at Everton Football Club and I think that is good."
