Everton's young shot stopper Billy Crellin has revealed how Jordan Pickford is helping him improve.

The 23-year-old has been with the club since January 2022, when he arrived from Fleetwood Town.

As Crellin looks to seal a January loan move to get regular game time, he is pleased with how Pickford is helping him at the moment.

Blackpool-born Crellin told evertonfc.com: “I'm over the moon to be extending my stay here. It means everything for me and my family because we're all Evertonians.

“It was a dream when I was a kid and coming to watch Premier League games here, so I'm just living a childhood dream.

“I've loved every minute at Everton. Training with Jordan, Loners [Andy Lonergan], Joao [Virginia] this year, and Bego [Asmir Begovic] last year; I've developed a lot as a keeper. I'm miles better than I was 18 months ago.

“I try to develop as much as I can to be the best goalkeeper I can be. I've picked up little things off Jordan, Asmir, and Loners because they've played so many games between them. I've developed in every area, with those one percent that make you better.

“I pick up a lot of things off Jordan and watch how he handles certain situations, which hopefully, one day I'll be in, and I'll know what to do. I speak to him all the time about little things and he's helpful."
