So far this season, the club’s current number one, Jordan Pickford, has been the sixth-worst performer for the Toffees in the Premier League with an average rating of 6.35/10 (per WhoScored).

So, following the report which stated that Cakir would be interested in a move to the Premier League despite interest from SL Benfica, Olympique Lyonnais, Sevilla and Atalanta, fans continued having their say.

What do we think?

As can be seen in the responses from these Everton supporters, there is no clear consensus on the goalkeeping position with some believing that Pickford is good enough and others not.

In terms of average ratings, the decision is simple, as the 24-year-old Turkish stopper’s 6.89/10 average rating in the Super Lig far outweighs Pickford’s 6.35/10 in the Premier League.
