Anthony Patterson was reportedly being considered by Burnley. The England Under-21 goalkeeper had attracted the attention of several clubs, including Tottenham, who were looking for additional goalkeeping options. Despite experiencing a dip in form mid-season, Patterson, who plays for Sunderland, remains a promising talent. His performances in the play-offs against Coventry provided a chance to further demonstrate his abilities. Burnley's interest adds to the competitive pursuit of Patterson, who is also on Southampton's radar as a potential replacement for Aaron Ramsdale. The Saints are said to be ready to make an offer if Sunderland does not succeed in the play-offs, indicating Patterson's increasing value in the transfer market.
