According to Football League World, West Brom are planning a loan move for Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson until the end of the season. West Brom are interested in Patterson, and there are less than two weeks left in the transfer window. It is unclear if Sunderland would approve a temporary exit for Patterson for the rest of the season. Patterson is contracted with the club until the summer of 2028.

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.
