Report: Tottenham have asked about Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford

By Jordan Harris

Tottenham Hotspur have asked about Jordan Pickford and whether he is available, according to a report from 90min, though Spurs are not looking at the Everton star as a target for this window.

Tottenham have brought in three signings so far. Of course, one of those to come in for Antonio Conte was Fraser Forster.

The England international joined on a free transfer following the end of his deal with Southampton.

Obviously, that has seen Tottenham seemingly sort their goalkeeper options for the coming season. But that has not stopped Fabio Paratici looking beyond this campaign, it seems.

90min reports that Tottenham have asked about Pickford’s availability. He is not thought to be a target for this window. But clearly, Spurs are keeping one eye on Hugo Lloris’ long-term successor.

Tottenham have asked about Pickford

Pickford – who cost £30 million – remains something of a divisive figure amongst many football fans. But there is no question that he has largely been outstanding when playing for England.

He also produced some unbelievable performances for the Toffees last season. Some of his saves proved absolutely pivotal in keeping Everton up in the Premier League.

He is capable of ‘extraordinary‘ performances. So you can understand why Spurs are keeping him on their radar.

Having said that, Tottenham are probably making a wise call not jumping into making a bid for Pickford. He surely needs to kick on and become a lot more consistent if he is going to be able to succeed Lloris.

Lloris has been one of the Premier League’s best ever goalkeepers during his time in North London. And his reliability is a key reason why he has been so important to Spurs.

Tottenham are going to be keeping their eye on how Pickford fares this season, it seems.
