Tim Howard has no doubt Everton’s acquisition of Jordan Pickford will prove to be money well spent - and he has backed the 23-year-old to enjoy a lengthy career guarding the goal at Goodison Park, just as he did.
Howard, a veteran of 414 appearances for the Blues over a 10-year stay, spoke exclusively to evertonfc.com from Denver in the United States where he is now playing for Colorado Rapids in the MLS.
The 38-year-old, who left Everton at the end of the 2015/16 season, sees many qualities in Pickford which make him the ideal long-term “custodian” at the Club.
