Liverpool are monitoring Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson ahead of a possible goalkeeping overhaul this summer.
Caoimhin Kelleher is anticipated to attract interest after once again impressing as Alisson’s backup this season, and he could be lured by the prospect of regular first-team football.
Meanwhile, Adrian, the Reds’ third-choice shot-stopper, is out of contract at the end of the season, and an extension is presently deemed doubtful.
And this is Anfield believes that Liverpool has been closely monitoring Patterson as they prepare for a potential goalkeeping vacancy.
Sunderland are well-positioned to ward off suitors after signing the 23-year-old to a new five-year contract in September.
However, it is believed that a price of £10-15 million could entice the Black Cats to the table.
Liverpool’s Premier League championship rivals Arsenal, as well as Championship duo Leeds United and Leicester City, are all interested in Patterson’s signing.
Celtic, the Scottish champions, have also been keeping an eye on the youngster this season as they prepare for Joe Hart’s retirement.
Patterson has made almost 100 appearances for Sunderland since his first-team debut in 2020/21, and he has one cap for England’s under-21s.
His Sunderland side has quickly slid out of Championship play-off contention this season, sitting 13th with 52 points, 15 points behind the leaders with only five games remaining.
