The 24-year-old started all of England's games in Russia as the team reached the semi-finals of the tournament and he credited Everton for kickstarting his international career.
"Getting the opportunity to become England's number one was down to being at Everton, I believe, and being able to put in solid performances week in and week out," Pickford told the club's website http://www.evertonfc.com/news/2018/09/26/pickford.
"Coming to Everton, a massive club with a massive history and seeing how passionate and determined the fans are, it's inspired me to perform... I want to play as many games as I can for the club, that's my goal now."
Pickford has started all six of Everton's games in the league this season. Everton face promoted Fulham on Saturday.
