Sunderland to cut short Jordan Pickford loan spell?

By , Senior Reporter
A report claims that Sam Allardyce is tempted to cut short Jordan Pickford's loan spell at Preston North End in January and bring the youngster back to Sunderland.

Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce is reportedly hoping to recall goalkeeper Jordan Pickford from his Preston North End loan spell.

The 21-year-old has impressed during his three months at Deepdale, keeping nine clean sheets for the Championship outfit since joining.

It has been a different story for current first-choice Black Cats stopper Costel Pantilimon, on the other hand, who has kept just one shutout in the top flight and conceded a total of 25 goals in the process.

According to the Sunderland Echo, Allardyce may now take advantage of the terms in Pickford's contract and bring the England Under-21s international back to the North-East in January.

A clean sheet against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday will make it a club-record run of six on the bounce for Preston.
