Manchester United and Tottenham have begun negotiations for Jordan Pickford, the current Everton and England goalkeeper. Frank Lampard's side will be looking to keep him, but his continuity on Merseyside is not guaranteed.

Jordan Pickford is one of the most sought-after goalkeepers in this transfer window. The England international's contract with Everton expires in mid-2024 and several clubs will be looking to sign him at an affordable price.

According to the 'Daily Mirror', Manchester United and Tottenham are determined to make a major bid for the England goalkeeper, whom they both consider to be the perfect candidate to defend their goals for the foreseeable future.

Everton, for their part, will try to keep him despite the offers, but it will depend on how the Merseyside club fare this season. If Frank Lampard's side are relegated, it will be difficult for Pickford to stay on next season.

The Red Devils and Spurs have begun negotiations to convince the 28-year-old goalkeeper. Erik ten Hag's side want him to become a direct replacement for David de Gea, while Antonio Conte's side are looking for a replacement for the experienced Hugo Lloris, who has just turned 36.

We will have to see what happens in the coming months, but it is certain that the race for Pickford has already begun. Chelsea, for their part, will also be keeping a close eye on the situation, although for now they will not be making any moves.
