#4 Jordan Pickford (Everton)

Southampton v Everton - Premier League
Pickford has been a commanding force in Everton's goal

Pickford began his career at Sunderland and was signed by Everton at the start of the season. Blessed with good shot-stopping abilities and good distribution, coupled with consistent performances that include 7 clean-sheets so far this season, Pickford has cemented his place as Everton's number one. The young keeper has looked confident and steady between the sticks for his club.

Pickford is also a contender for the PFA Young Player of the Year award as he has quickly adapted to life at a new Premier League club and has looked in good form all throughout the season. The Toffees acquired his services for £30 million before the start of the season from Sunderland and is worth every penny, given his superb start to life at a new club.

A big powerful presence in the box, Pickford commands the area and has significantly improved since his last season in the Premier League. He has grown into a more commanding presence and has improved on his footwork, becoming an all-round goalkeeper.
