Everton have signed goalkeeper Jordan Pickford for a club-record £30m fee from Sunderland.

Pickford has signed a five-year contract and moves to Goodison Park for an initial £25m fee which could rise to £30m depending on team and individual performances.

The 23-year-old made his first-team debut with Sunderland in January 2016 and finished last campaign with the club's Player of the Season award.

Pickford, who is currently with England's U21 side in Poland ahead of the European Championships, told Everton's website he can't wait to show everyone what he can do.

"It's great to sign for the club" he said. "Last season was my first in the Premier League so to get this opportunity with Everton now, to be able to go forward with my career and show everyone what I can do with Everton is unbelievable.

"It's a great club, a massive club and I think it's a great opportunity and the right time for me to come to Everton and show what I can do.

"This is an exciting time for the club and for me, too, with the ambition being shown. I just want to be the best I can be to help.

"I know Mason (Holgate - his England Under-21 team-mate) and a few of the other lads at Everton from younger age groups and the club's only going forward, so it's the best thing I can be doing.
