Everton goalkeeper Harry Tyrer is drawing inspiration from senior Jordan Pickford.

Tyrer is this season on-loan with Chesterfield.

He told Liverpool Echo: Alan Kelly (the Everton goalkeeper coach) has been very influential in Jord's career as well. He's been great for me and told me if you're out on loan playing games, you'll have a great career and learn quickly on the job like if you were an apprentice trying to master a trade.

I'd like to say I'm getting better and I'm looking at what Jord did before he established himself at Sunderland. He's Everton's number one and England's number one and it's a dream of mine to follow in his footsteps.

Jord is unbelievable. He always helps with the young lads, he's certainly helped me.

I always like to watch him and see what he does because he's a top goalkeeper. He's one of the best in the Premier League and probably the world currently.

You've just got to learn from him and take what he says in because he's very experienced now. Getting 60 caps for England isn't too bad is it?"
