#1 Jordan Pickford
Trending
The 23-year-old English keeper was unheard of prior to the season. David Moyes chose him over the more experienced Vito Mannone and Pickford delivered.
His shot stopping abilities saw him make the second most saves with 135, just six short of Burnley’s Tom Heaton. His distribution was commendable as well, his accurate long passes proving as much.
Former manager Moyes said that Pickford has it in him to make it as a world class goalkeeper, and few can refute his claim. Pickford’s performances earned him an England U21 call-up, and the senior team does not look far off.
He was truly the bright spot in a drab Sunderland season.
