Goalkeeper – Jordan Pickford?

Pickford is one of the best keepers in the league

Arsene Wenger is expected to sell a couple of his goalkeepers this transfer window - and Sunderland's Jordan Pickford could be the perfect replacement for both David Ospina and Wojciech Szczesny.

The Sunderland custodian is a top shot-stopper and produced a number of excellent saves last season as he stood out in a dismal Sunderland Premier League campaign which ultimately saw the Black Cats relegated.

The Chronicle has suggested that Arsenal might have to fork out as much as £30 million for the England international if they want to secure his services ahead of next season.

It might seem a little pricey for such a young goalkeeper, but Pickford is one of the country's rising stars and is widely tipped to become a regular senior national team player in just a few short months' time.

Pickford has all the necessary attributes to become a cup regular for the Gunners - he has remarkable reactions, great reach and is used to getting his defence out of trouble with last-gasp saves. Arsenal might just need to bite the bullet and invest in him before his price skyrockets or a rival club snap him up.
