Sunderland should look to West Ham’s Adrian if Jordan Pickford leaves the club this summer.

Sunderland look set to lose the services of their number one goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, with Everton, Arsenal and Manchester City interested in his signature.

The Express reports that the Black Cats will demand £15million for the 23-year-old, who will look to leave the club when the Black Cats are confirmed to be relegated from the Premier League.

David Moyes’ side currently sit 12 points adrift of Hull City in 17th, having only picked up two points in their last eight Premier League fixtures.

With relegation seemingly inevitable for Sunderland, Moyes should plan ahead for Pickford’s replacement, and West Ham keeper Adrian could be an ideal replacement.

Although Spanish keeper Adrian was restored to the first team ahead of Darren Randolph for West Ham’s recent game against Everton, it looks likely his future will lie away from the Hammers.

The 30-year-olds contract expires in the summer, and David Moyes should try and tempt the former Real Betis man to helping a Sunderland side facing a likely promotion chase in the Championship next season.
