Former Everton boss David Moyes has told goalkeeper Jordan Pickford it would be foolish to seek a move away from Goodison Park this summer.
The 24-year-old has been linked with a move away from Merseyside after an impressive World Cup 2018 campaign with England in Russia.
The former Sunderland stopper should continue his development at Everton. Despite some big names being linked with a move, Moyes has urged Pickford to hold tight.
"I think Everton is the right club for Jordan," Moyes told The Sun. "It's a big club, he's only just moved and I would say to him it would be stupid to even consider another move if there was to be an option for him.
"I think it will help him being at Everton because he will get enough work and he's got a chance to develop without every single thing he does being scrutinised.
"He is still young and he just needs to keep getting his games in. The last thing he needs to bother about is any speculation."
Everton are 1/3 to finish in the top-half of the Premier League next season and 20/1 for a top-four berth.
Moyes wants Pickford to show he can maintain his standards over time.
"If you go to the World Cup and do as well as he has done, you've shown you can stand on any stage. But all he needs to do is go back to Everton, keep working and look to improve. Don't let anything slip, don't be complacent," he added.
"At the moment he is a young player who has played very well. But the key to being a top player is going back and performing just as well."
