How Everton could line up in 2017-18 with Sandro and Dembele

Goalkeeper – Jordan Pickford

The first notable change to Everton’s line-up will be the immediate introduction of Everton’s new £30million club record signing.

Experienced stoppers Maarten Stekelenburg and Joel Robles shared the goalkeeping duties in the first-team squad last season, but the arrival of Pickford should see the pair fighting for deputy duties.

Pickford still has a great deal to learn, but to put it simply, Koeman wouldn’t splash out such a considerable financial outlay on a player he didn’t envisage playing regularly in his side next season.

The England Under 21 international kept just five clean sheets in all competitions for Sunderland last season, but the statistics don’t give an accurate reading of his true ability.
