Report: Pickford Chelsea's primary target

Chelsea will reportedly move for Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford if Thibaut Courtois leaves the club in this summer's transfer window.

Courtois has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid ahead of the 2018-19 campaign, and the Belgium international has reportedly already agreed personal terms with the European champions.

According to Sky Sports News, Chelsea will attempt to sign Pickford following his impressive performances for England at the 2018 World Cup should Courtois move on to the Bernabeu.

The 24-year-old joined Everton from Sunderland in last summer's transfer window, and kept 10 clean sheets in 38 Premier League appearances during the 2017-18 campaign.

Chelsea announced the signing of veteran goalkeeper Rob Green on Thursday morning, although the 38-year-old is not under consideration to be the club's number one next term.
