Everton's bid for Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has been scoffed at by fans.

The Black Cats have reportedly slapped a £30 million price tag on their stopper, who was a shining light in an otherwise underwhelming season, but Everton are nowhere close to matching the figure. The Liverpool Echo report that the Toffees have tabled an £8 million bid for Pickford which, for all you non-mathematicians out there, is much less than £30 million. It's understood that Everton are willing to go as high as £15 million for the 23-year-old however that may not be enough to tempt the Stadium of Light hierarchy to part ways with their most promising player. https://twitter.com/JHunterChron/status/869824858754076672 Pickford made 135 saves this season but his heroics between the sticks were not enough to save Sunderland from relegation. He was called up to the England squad last October and made his first appearance for the national side when he replaced Tom Heaton in a World Cup Qualifier against Slovenia. West Ham are also interested in Pickford and will almost certainly offer more than £8 million, which will get you very little in today's market. Supporters certainly saw the funny side of Everton's attempt at lowballing. https://twitter.com/jonhotspur88/status/869835828641628160 https://twitter.com/Mr_magoo199/status/869835058407985152 https://twitter.com/Litho_EFC7/status/869830700643606528 https://twitter.com/brownh1989/status/869825913541849089 https://twitter.com/Danluntefc123/status/869825800585039872 https://twitter.com/catharell1/status/869823976197025792 https://twitter.com/gigHaWatt/status/869819102533177344 https://twitter.com/leecjml1982/status/869808111657168896 https://twitter.com/photogareth/status/869797230089306112
