Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has named a Manchester City pair as the best at two rather different things while on international duty with England.
City's squad currently contains five England internationals with Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, John Stones, Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips all having played for the Three Lions. The departure of Raheem Sterling to Chelsea this summer was balanced out with Phillip's arrival, as the Blues' representation within the national team remains strong.
The Toffees keeper knows all of these players well from his time with England. The national team squad will have the chance to amend the heartbreak they suffered last summer against Italy this winter, with the Qatar World taking place in November and December.

Having reached the semi-final and final in successive major tournaments, the England squad should be in high spirits heading into the tournament later this year. Pickford has now offered some insight into life in the Three Lions camp as he spoke to GOAL's YouTube channel and revealed some interesting details about two City players.
When asked who the best player in training is, Pickford said: "When I’m with England, it’s so tough to pick. Technically I think Phil Foden is one of the best I have ever seen. But then, Harry Kane, if we’re doing finishing drills, it’s so hard to actually save a shot, so if you save a shot from Harry Kane you’re actually celebrating."
The Everton shot-stopper was also asked about life away from the pitch. He gave the following response when questioned on who the best joker was in the dressing room: "For Everton, got to be Mason Holgate, always up for a joke and a laugh. For England I would say Kyle Walker the same, both top lads and both funny as hell."
