‘Liverpool have paid £66m and have only got the second-best goalkeeper on Merseyside’– Everton fan Tony Bellew says Jordan Pickford is better than Alisson
https://ift.tt/2OdcfaF Tony Bellew believes Everton have the best goalkeeper on Merseyside, even after their red rivals broke the transfer record on a new number one this summer. Jurgen Klopp has finally fixed his long-standing goalkeeper woes by landing Brazil international Alisson in a deal that could be worth up to £67million . He is regarded as one of the finest talents in world football and, at 25, still has decades in the tank. But Everton devotee Bellew believes Goodison Park hosts the superior glovesman in Jordan Pickford. Pickford, 24, became a national hero during England’s brilliant World Cup campaign this summer and, according to Bellew, proved he is worth every penny of the £30m the Toffees spent to sign him from Sunderland last year. The British Boxing star told talkSPORT: “I’d just like to say, I remember being laughed at by many Kopites when Everton signed Jordan Pickford for £30m, saying we had just bought a relegated goalkeeper and all that. “Well, you hav...
