The 23-year-old has impressed for the recently relegated Black Cats this season, attracting the interest of a number of Premier League clubs in the process.

Speaking to Sky Sports - via the - Pickford claimed that the decision of former teammate Jack Colback to join Newcastle would not influence him to do the same.


“Jack’s playing on the other side of the water these days unfortunately,” said Pickford. “I would never do that.


“I couldn’t do it myself. I would never go to Newcastle. [Leaving Sunderland] is not something I’ve looked at yet and it’s not something I want to look at either.”

Ellis will want the money he be gone
 
Might not be his choice if we get a £12m bid and the club accept it
would be embarrassing to accept that OFFER! Wouldn't surprise me.....if to sell nothing less than £20m up front instalments etc
The likes of city etc can afford it and will pay it for a keeper......consider it this way £20m over ten years (naturally before salary) is a bargain...
 
If we get rid of him for the reported prices of 15 million then the clubs a bigger joke than I thought it was
 
Luckily, he's so good it won't be a dilemma for him or his family.
Any Newcastle bid will be gazumped by much bigger clubs.
 
I think he will stay for 1 more season, he will get regular games here but going to another club I'd imagine he'd be 2nd choice at bigger clubs. I knew straight away he wouldn't give Newcastle a second though, heard him say that myself but when money is involved you never know but he seems a canny lad who is grounded I wish him luck whether he stays or goes to be honest.
 
He will leave, but the club needs to hold its nerve when negotiating with other clubs. In today's market, we should be aiming for between 15-20m minimum
