Should Carlo Ancelotti be looking for a replacement for Jordan Pickford this summer?Yes, not been good enough
No, he's got so much potential |
However, due to the 23-year-old keeping only four clean sheets in 28 games so far this term for his Super Lig side (per Transfermarkt), other supporters were not as keen on the move.

Let’s stop dealing with the Turkish clubs

Though, with the club’s current main stopper, Jordan Pickford, coming under fire recently (via BBC), one fan felt that the club should still be looking for a replacement, just someone other than the Turkish ‘keeper.

What do we think?
During 20 games in the league so far this season, Cakir has earned himself a solid 6.95/10 average rating, having also made three appearances in the Europa League (per WhoScored).
This gives the Turkish stopper a much better rating than Pickford has had in the league, with the Englishman delivering a much weaker 6.36/10 average rating in the Premier League (per WhoScored).
