The Sunderland youngster has turned heads with his eye-catching displays for the Black Cats this term. Having gotten his chances due to an injury to Vito Mannone in September, Pickford has been the only silver lining for David Moyes’ side in a faltering season that seems to be heading towards relegation.

Having made 18 appearances in the Premier League, Pickford has managed to keep just 2 clean sheets but has made the most number of saves (58) in the English top-flight, averaging 3.63 saves per game. The 22-year old has impressed everyone with his alertness in goal and his excellent reflexes that have helped the Black Cats maintain a respectable scoreline in many games this term.

He has a long time left on his current deal with Sunderland, running until the summer of 2020. However, with his team facing relegation, there are good chances he may want to stay in the Premier League and a chance to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world may prove to be a little too tempting for Pickford if Arsenal comes calling.
