Arsenal target Jordan Pickford says he's happy at Sunderland.

The Gunners are being linked with a January bid for Pickford.

"I could play every day if I had to," said Pickford to the Sunderland Echo.

"I felt like the more games I play the better I'll get as a keeper and the more mature I'll become.

"Over the years on loan I've shown what I'm capable of doing out on the pitch. I've always thought I was good enough.

"It was just about being patient and waiting for the right time to go and show them what I can do.

"It's always been my dream to play for Sunderland."
