Ex-Liverpool keeper Kirkland: Everton No1 Pickford still England's best

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Chris Kirkland is a big fan of Everton No1 Jordan Pickford.

Kirkland believes he is still England's best.

“It's tough competition, you go back 12 months and Jordan was the clear No. 1 - he still is for me," Kirkland told Sky Sports.

“His form hasn't been as good as he would have liked for Everton but there's a lot of pressure on Everton at the minute.

“When they're not doing well as a team it always seems to come back to the goalkeeper.

“But he [Pickford] is one of the best I've ever worked with and there's no doubt about his ability, he's a top keeper."
