Liverpool are reportedly interested in one of the top young goalkeepers in the Championship, as they are linked with a move for Sunderland’s Anthony Patterson.

Patterson has been a key player for Sunderland this season, helping the Black Cats in their challenge for the top six in the Championship. They currently sit seventh in the table, only kept out of the play-off places by Coventry City on goal difference.

After last season’s play-off defeat to Luton Town, Sunderland will be looking at avenging their loss and returning to the Premier League following a tumultuous few years at the Stadium of Light.

Liverpool are rumoured to be looking to sign Patterson during this transfer window, and there are good reasons for and against their targetting of the young keeper this month.

Liverpool are right to be taking an interest in Patterson, as he has proved himself to be one of the top young keepers in the Championship over the past two seasons.

The Englishman returned from a loan spell at Notts County in 2022 and immediately cemented himself as the number one keeper at the Stadium of Light.

At just 22-years-old, Patterson started all 46 games in the Championship last season, keeping 14 clean sheets and conceding 55 goals on the way to a sixth-place finish for the Black Cats.

He has stepped up a level this season, improving in all aspects and showing more maturity in his game. Sunderland are among the teams with the least goals conceded this season, and Patterson is a huge part of the stable defense at the Stadium of Light this season.
