England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is under investigation with the aid of his club Everton about his alleged involvement in a brawl in Sunderland on Sunday. The 25-year-old, who shone at last year’s World Cup, is believed to have reacted when revelers in a bar directed derogatory remarks at his fiancée Megan, who is currently expecting their first infant, Arlo. A video has unfolded on social media in which onlookers can be heard shouting “Jordan” as combat breaks out before the person, believed to be Pickford, is dragged away. Pickford had performed in Everton’s 2-0 away win over West Ham on Saturday before spending time off in his home metropolis.
“The membership has been made aware of an alleged incident related to one of our players, and we’re looking into the matter,” the Premier League club said. Pickford got here through the system at Sunderland but joined Everton for an initial £25 million ($32.6 million) when they were relegated from the Premier League in June 2017. He made his England debut 5 months later and was Gareth Southgate’s first preference for the World Cup and became instrumental in their wonder run to the semifinals. He saved a spot-kick in the penalty shootout victory over Colombia in their closing sixteen clashes. He became the man of the healthy in England’s 2-zero win over Sweden in the quarterfinals.
