Tottenham target Jordan Pickford set to commit future to Everton
According to Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur target Jordan Pickford is set to commit his future to Everton as he is closing in on signing a new deal.
For Tottenham fans, the news that Jordan Pickford is set to commit his future to Everton will come as a disappointment. The 28-year-old has been on Spurs’ radar for some time, with the club reportedly considering him as a potential replacement for Hugo Lloris.
Pickford’s form for Everton over the last few seasons has been outstanding, and he has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League. He has also been a regular for the England national team.

It is not surprising, therefore, that Everton have been keen to tie him down to a new contract. The fact that discussions have been accelerated in recent weeks suggests that both parties are keen to get a deal done.
For Tottenham, this will be a missed opportunity. Lloris has been a fantastic servant to the club, but at 35 years old, he is approaching the twilight of his career. His form this season has left a lot to be desired.
Spurs need to start thinking about the long-term future of their goalkeeper position, and Pickford would have been an excellent option. However, it looks like they might struggle to get their target.
Tottenham can still have hope though. Despite the recent upturn in form, Everton are still not out of the relegation mess. The Toffees will need to stay afloat should they harbour hopes of keeping Pickford.
For Everton, the news that Pickford is set to commit his future will be a huge boost. The Toffees have struggled for consistency over the last couple of seasons, but Pickford has been one of their standout performers throughout.
