#9 Jordan Pickford (Everton)
A lot of questions were asked last summer when Everton paid £30 million to bring Pickford to the club from Sunderland. The ‘keeper was a bright spark for the Black Cats as they were relegated from the Premier League, and he was fully deserving of his move back to the top flight. He was once again part of a struggling side last year, with a poor defence, but he still put in some very impressive performances for the Toffees.
He really made a name for himself at the World Cup though, and put in some heroic displays for England, including saving from Carlos Bacca in the penalty shootout against Colombia as the Three Lions won their first ever World Cup penalty shootout. There are some things he still needs to work on, but he is already proving himself as a quality ‘keeper. He is part of a better Everton side now, and will hopefully get the success his talent deserves.
