EX-SUNDERLAND star Jordan Pickford could be lined up for a shock move to Newcastle, according to reports.
Pickford, 28, made one of the saves of the season in a monumental Everton performance against Chelsea on Sunday.
But talkSPORT say that the shot stopper will "push for a move" if the Toffees are relegated.
His motivation is to stay in the Premier League and cement his place in Gareth Southgate's team for the Qatar World Cup this winter.
And Newcastle are said to be "monitoring the situation" along with Tottenham, as boss Frank Lampard is "contemplating cashing in on Pickford".
Pickford arrived at Goodison Park from Sunderland in the summer of 2017 for a fee of £25million rising to £30m in add-ons.

Since laying his roots at their local rivals, the goalkeeper has faced an ongoing battle with Newcastle fans.
A Toon fan wore a dino costume at a match to poke fun at Pickford, who they mock for having "T-Rex arms".
Days later a fight broke out at a South Tyneside pub after Pickford and his friends were goaded.
The England No 1 is Everton's biggest asset and they price him at around £30million.

The star is also on about £100,000-a-week wages, with his contract running until 2024.
And the Toffees have got their moneys worth as he has played 195 times for the club over a five-season period.
Pickford's future could all depend on the next five games as Everton sit two points behind 17th place Leeds.
The Merseyside club have a far superior goal difference, thanks partly to their goalkeeper's exploits.
