Keeper Jordan Pickford is reportedly being considered to TAKE a penalty for England if tomorrow's Euro 2020 clash with Germany goes to spot-kicks.

The ex-Carlisle United gloveman could be a contender for a place in the shoot-out line-up at Wembley.

It could see Pickford handed an even more prominent role should the huge last-16 tie go the distance.

The Everton No1 has form for taking penalties for his country before, having netted in 2019's Nations League shoot-out against Switzerland when he was named among England's first five takers.

Pickford, according to the Mail, is said to boast an impressive record when taking penalties in training with the national side.

Midfielder Kalvin Phillips said of the keeper in a press conference yesterday: "He’s a very clean striker of the ball. It makes it a lot easier when you have a keeper who could probably score a free-kick as well as a penalty."

Pickford has earned plaudits for keeping three consecutive clean sheets in the tournament so far.

He will be the Three Lions' last line of defence against Joachim Low's side as Gareth Southgate's men try to book a quarter-final place against Sweden or Ukraine, who also meet tomorrow at Hampden Park.

Speaking after his penalty success in 2019, Pickford said: "I'm not a normal penalty taker but I just relaxed and trusted my ability."

"We practise them consistently, I always pick my spot and I haven't missed one in training, but I had never taken one in a real game."

Pickford was a shoot-out hero for England at the 2018 World Cup when his saves helped Southgate's side beat Colombia in the second round.

Boss Southgate says England will follow a well-worked "process" should the Germany tie go to penalties.

"We’ve won our last two shoot-outs, so we had a process that worked for us through that preparation and we followed that same process," he said. 

"There’s a little bit more focus on it this week but we don’t start that this week because that would be too late and also we didn’t want to make a bigger thing of it than it is. 

"We created a process that works for us. We think the players understand that and we’ll be well prepared if it comes to that moment."
