Southampton wants to buy a Championship goalkeeper: who is this player.

Southampton's interest in Patterson

According to The Sun: Southampton plans to acquire goalkeeper Anthony Patterson from Sunderland during the winter transfer window. The team, which is trying to secure promotion, has been rotating between Alex McCarthy and first-choice goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu this season, but seems unsatisfied with both.

Patterson, 25, played in all but four Championship matches last season for Regis Le Bris's team, missing them due to injuries.

However, interest in the player continues to grow, and Southampton needs to determine its options for the goalkeeper position.

The current situation with goalkeepers at Southampton is concerning, and acquiring Patterson could be a beneficial move for the team. His experience playing in the Championship will certainly help improve the club's defense, which is critical in the chase for promotion. It remains to be seen how negotiations will develop and whether the club can indeed sign this promising goalkeeper.
