Former goalkeepers Peter Shilton and Neville Southall praise Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who has already caught the attention of London's Arsenal and Liverpool's Everton.
Recently, rumors have been circulating that the Toffees have made an irresistible £30 million offer, which even the Gunners would not dare to compete with.
If this 23-year-old English transfer happens, he will become the third most expensive goalkeeper in history.
"I think if we get Pickford, we will have made a cheap purchase," Southall, a former Wales representative, wrote on Twitter. "What price for saving 12 points per season?"
"He has the potential to ultimately become a world-class player."
Meanwhile, former English goalkeeper Shilton, speaking to the Liverpool Echo, said: "Such money should be spent on goalkeepers."
"For someone like Jordan, who is young and has great potential, that doesn't seem like a large amount."
"Looking at the bigger picture, it's not a lot of money considering how important the goalkeeper position is. It only falls behind a striker who scores 20 goals per season. You can't have a truly good team without a good goalkeeper."
Truth be told, most discussions about Pickford's abilities arise because he has only played 31 matches in the Premier League during his career.
