View: Newcastle have gone crazy after reported interest in Everton ace Jordan Pickford
Newcastle have lost their mind with their interest in signing Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, according to reports by talkSPORT.
The England international will push for a move away from Goodison Park should the Blues find themselves relegated this season.
Although, the report claims that the Toffees are willing to listen to offers even if they do stay up with the 28-year-old being dubbed as one of their “most sellable assets”.
Tottenham are also interested in the former Sunderland man and if he was to leave Merseyside that would certainly be the best destination for him.
The Newcastle fans hate the goalie thanks to his Black Cats ties and who knows whether they will fully take to him – they would be crazy to sign him.
Loyalty.
Understandably, Pickford has his place in the international team to worry about but these reports are quite worrying from an Everton perspective – if they are true.
Not only would the keeper push for a move if the Toffees get relegated but the club are willing to sell him regardless.
This shows a huge lack of loyalty on both sides. How could Pickford just pack up and leave if the Merseysiders were to drop to the Championship – surely he would want to help them get back to where they belong.
Sam Johnstone remained in the England squad whilst playing in the Championship with West Brom so it is far from impossible.
Equally, what are the Blues thinking in wanting to sell him? Yes, they might be going through financial difficulty but they should only sell if they absolutely need to.
What kind of loyalty is that to one of the team’s best performers of late.
