Jordan Pickford attracting interest from Chelsea amid Everton troubles
Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is being eyed for a move by Chelsea.
The Blues are in the market for a new goalkeeper at the end of the season and TBR Football has claimed that the Premier League club admire Everton star Pickford.
Despite being currently committed to the team, goalkeeper is said to have considered if he should search for teams prepared to compete on bigger stages.
With Chelsea’s two current goalkeeping options Dorde Petrovic and Robert Sanchez failing to impress this season, the Stamford Bridge outfit could intensify their efforts to sign the Everton goalkeeper.
After the news of Everton takeover being in doubt, the Toffees could be forced to rely on selling a prized asset in order to raise funds.

Defender Jarrad Branthwaite, who has been linked with a move to Manchester United, is another valuable asset of the Merseyside club.
Pickford, who cost £30 million to join Everton from Sunderland, has shown tremendous dedication to the team.
Since then, in 276 games for the team, he has preserved 75 clean sheets and has been crucial to their relegation escapes over the last few seasons.
