The 23-year-old become the third most expensive goalkeeper in the world after completing his 30-million pound move to the Toffees on Thursday, but says he’s unconcerned by the gigantic price.
"It's just a number, isn't it?” he said. “It's my job to be a goalkeeper and keep the ball out of the net and that's what I've done. I've kept a clean sheet. It's just a number, it doesn't affect me.
"I got the deal out of the way and over the line so I could focus on the Euros. I didn't know too much about it until I came out here but got that done so I could focus on trying to win the Euros.
"When I heard about it and they said they were sorting the medical so it could go through, it's nice to get it out of the way."
Pickford, who is one of the designated over-age players at the Euro U-21 championships and saved a penalty in his side’s opening game draw with Sweden, says he’s never spoken to new coach Ronaldo Koeman, insisting he’ll focus on club matters on his return from the Euros.
"I've never spoken to him before,” he said. “My agent did all the stuff. I'm just a lad who likes playing football. I'm not bothered about anything else.
"He [sent me a] text me wishing me good luck. I was a bit too young to see him as a player but I heard he was a free-kick specialist and that he still takes them.
"I've heard he's a top manager and it will be good to learn under him at Everton. It's been a big couple of days but I'll focus on that when I get back."
