Sunderland boss David Moyes is convinced Jordan Pickford has a bright future after taking to life in the Premier League even quicker than Manchester United star David de Gea.
The 23-year-old keeper has performed so well for the struggling Black Cats this season that his elevation to the senior England squad was followed this week by a nomination for the Professional Footballers' Association Young Player of the Year award.
Pickford finds himself in exalted company alongside Tottenham pair Dele Alli and Harry Kane, Everton striker Romelu Lukaku, Manchester City schemer Leroy Sane and Burnley defender Michel Keane.
