Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford says he has "crossed every bridge to become a Premier League goalkeeper".

The England international has been an integral part of Marco Silva's revolution at Goodison Park.

And the 24-year-old says the road there wasn't easy.

"I've been a professional since I was a 17-year-old, over 200 league games from Conference all the way up to the Premier League now, so I think that's experience in itself," Pickford said.

"I've crossed every bridge to become a Premier League goalkeeper, I think I'm going in the right direction and I think I'm mature as a goalkeeper.

"I know I'm only 24 but I know in my head already I am mature, because I've got the right mental side of it."
