I have heard some derisory figures - Moyes believes Pickford is worth £30m

David Moyes has suggested Jordan Pickford could
be worth as much as £30million, with the
Sunderland manager rejecting "derisory" valuations
of the highly rated goalkeeper.
Pickford has been one of the few bright sparks in a
dire campaign, with Sunderland relegated to the
Championship after 10 years in the Premier
League.
The 23-year-old has been linked with a raft of
clubs, including Liverpool and Everton, although
Arsene Wenger ruled out a bid to bring him to
Arsenal.
Pickford was called up to the senior England squad
for the first time in October and Moyes indicated
Sunderland will be looking for a substantial fee for
their prize asset.
"It would need to be a really, really big offer," said
Moyes.
"I have said all through the season that sometimes
on your journey, you may have to sell to improve.
"But I have heard some really derisory sort of
figures getting mentioned and it wouldn't be any of
those figures, I can tell you that."

Only one goalkeeper has ever moved for a fee in
excess of £20million, with Gianluigi Buffon's
£33million transfer from Parma to Juventus
making him the world's most expensive stopper.
But, asked by reporters if Pickford's fee could rise
as high as £30million, Moyes said: "Yes. He has
been our highlight.
"For a young boy to break in and perform like that.
The other night he was fantastic against Arsenal.
"Nearly everything was perfect and we will need
him again this weekend at Chelsea."
