“I feel like I’m getting better all the time, with each game and each training session. That’s always what I’ve strived for.I’m always asking myself, ‘How can I improve?’, and demanding more from myself. I think that’s what got me to where I am today and seen me play so many games for Everton and England. I want to contribute in every way I can. I try to be a leader in whatever team I’m in. One player has got to wear the captain’s armband but you need more leaders than that in the team to be successful. I want to play my part in driving my team forward – for Everton and for England,” says Jordan Pickford. [EFC]
