Jordan Pickford says £47m Man City star is one of the best in the world
Jordan Pickford has highlighted a Manchester City player as being one of the best in the world in his position.
Over the past few years, the Manchester club have established themselves as a dominant force in English football and one of the best sides in Europe.
After winning the Treble last season, the Blues followed that up by winning another three trophies, including their sixth Premier League title in seven years.
Now that a wide range of top-flight players are involved in the current European Championship in Germany, one current City star, who has played a key role in the club’s success under Pep Guardiola, has been hailed by one of his international teammates.

The Everton goalkeeper was asked in a recent press conference ahead of England’s opening group game against Serbia about his relationship with John Stones and how important he is for the Three Lions.

In response, Pickford said this about the City defender.
He said: “I remember playing in Germany at the U19 level and he made the step up early. I’ve known him for a long time, [he’s a] top player, what he’s won for his club.
“He’s fit and he’s ready to go. He’s one of the best centre-backs in the world. For England, he’s been quality, the amount of caps he’s got for us as well. [He’s a] top lad as well.”
During his time at the Etihad Stadium, the 30-year-old has made 257 appearances across all competitions, winning numerous trophies along the way as Pickford mentioned, including six P
remier League titles.
