Chelsea are reportedly showing interest in Sunderland's 24-year-old goalkeeper Anthony Patterson ahead of the summer transfer window. The England Under-21 international has been a consistent performer for the Championship club, attracting attention from several Premier League sides.
Patterson, a product of Sunderland's academy, has made over 150 appearances for the Black Cats. His performances have been crucial in the team's campaigns, establishing him as one of the most promising young goalkeepers in the English football league system.
Chelsea's interest comes as the club assesses its goalkeeping options for the future. The potential move would see Patterson compete for a place, though no formal offer has been made. The summer window, which opens in June, will determine if this interest materializes into a concrete bid.
Any transfer would require negotiation with Sunderland, who value their homegrown player highly. Patterson's current contract situation and Sunderland's league position at the end of the season will be significant factors in any potential deal.
