Jordan Pickford says Everton qualifying for Europe will justify his decision to stay with the Toffees.
The England goalkeeper has long been linked with a move to a bigger club due to Everton‘s lack of European football.

But with Everton now in the mix for the European places this season, Pickford told ITV: “It’s been a big roller-coaster. It would be a big turnaround from where we’ve come from and the battles we’ve had.
“We went through tough and torrid times as a club to be fair, and we’ve come out of that now. In terms of performances in the Premier League, you can see the difference in that we’re pushing in the right direction to where we want to be as a football club and where Everton Football Club should be.
“For me, the Premier League is always tough, it doesn’t matter whether you’re playing the champions or bottom of the table, every game is a battle and if you’re not on point, you’ll get turned over. That’s what we’ve got to be ready for in these last six games.
“I’m at a great club. If we get Europe this year, those questions will be squashed.”
