There were few positives for Sunderland fans in the 2016-17 season as they finished rock bottom and 16 points from safety, but the emergence of one of their own - Jordan Pickford - was a highlight. Initially second choice to Vito Mannone, Pickford was promoted to the first team after an injury to his colleague and never gave up the No.1 spot. He ended the year with the PFA Young Player of the Year award.

"I'm very happy to be here, to have this opportunity. I'm just ready to fight and to play games," said Disasi, who has been capped five times by his country. "It's an exciting challenge. We know that the club is not at the place that it should be, but I'm here to help the team and to bring what I can to achieve our goal."

West Ham United are reportedly in discussions over a potential loan move for Raheem Sterling, as the club looks to inject much-needed attacking quality into their squad for the second half of the season. According to ExWHUEmployee, the Hammers are exploring a deal that would see the Chelsea outcast arrive in east London on loan until the end of the campaign. The timing of the move is no coincidence.

That has been confirmed by Pete O'Rourke (via Football Insider), who has confirmed that West Ham will not allow Bowen to leave in January at the very least. I don't think he'll be sold in the near future. There's definitely no chance he'll move in January because they will need Jarrod Bowen to try and help them stay up in the Premier League. He is the club captain, he is the talisman, he's been top scorer for the last four years.
