West Bromwich Albion have been identified as one of three clubs that could compete with Millwall to sign Sunderland's English goalkeeper Anthony Patterson. The 25-year-old, who has been capped by England at the U21 level, has fallen out of favour at his current club, having been the first-choice goalkeeper for the last three seasons before losing his place to new signing Robin Roefs following Sunderland's promotion, making a January move a possibility. According to Alan Nixon, Millwall are interested in signing Patterson to strengthen their goalkeeping options. Patterson is considered a good short-term option for West Brom, given his extensive Championship experience and demonstrated ability at this level, as the club may be considering a new goalkeeper. Bristol City and QPR are the other two clubs suggested as potential competitors for his signature. Patterson, who joined Sunderland in July 2021, has a contract until June 2028 and a current Transfermarkt market value of €10 million; in September 2024, Sunderland's asking price was reportedly about €23.5 million.
