Breaking News: Wolves Rival with top teams for Sunderland star

The Black Cats goalkeeper is seemingly in high demand heading into the summer transfer window.

The 24-year-old has been impressive since becoming the Black Cats’ number one goalkeeper midway through the League One season in 2021/22.

Having only gone from strength to strength since then, Premier League clubs have been keeping tabs on the shot-stopper, with the likes of Liverpool and Wolves linked.

It now appears those aforementioned clubs face a new rival in the race to land Patterson’s signature.

That is according to Alan Nixon via Patreon, who reports that the Blades are willing to offer around £8 million to Sunderland for their number one this summer.

The Blades were recently relegated from the Premier League after a miserable return to the top-flight, and following their defeat at Everton on Saturday, have broken the record for goals conceded in the division, having let in 101 goals with one game to spare.

The previous record of 100 goals conceded had been held by Swindon Town, but took place when the Premier League had 42 matches per season and not 38.

As a result of the above, it is perhaps unsurprising that Chris Wilder is after a new goalkeeper ahead of the Blades’ Championship return this summer.

Nixon claims that Ivo Grbic has failed to impress since joining the club in January, and with Wes Foderingham out of contract, it leaves the Blades eyeing a new number one.

One potential stumbling block to the deal, however, is that Nixon claims Sunderland were hoping for double what Sheffield United are willing to pay for Patterson this summer. They
