Leeds United will examine the £10–15 million Sunderland star who is now on 49ers’ notice more closely.

The Whites hope that their opponents, the Black Cats, will be more vulnerable due to their lack of enthusiasm towards the end of the season when they play Sunderland tonight.

The Mike Dodds team is full of talent; Jack Clarke and Leo Hjelde, two of their probable starting lineup members, came up via the club’s youth system.

According to a This Is Anfield article, Leeds is one of the few teams reportedly considering Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson in the summer.

The 23-year-old’s performances in the Championship are reportedly being watched by Liverpool and Celtic, but the 49ers and head of recruitment Jordan Miles will have a chance to see him up close when he starts in goal for the visiting team tonight at Elland Road.

According to the report, Arsenal and Leicester City are also monitoring Patterson, so if Leeds decides to submit an offer, they will face fierce competition.

Where will Leeds finish in 23/24?

The report also details Sunderland’s attitude on the sale of their starting goalkeeper, with the club holding a strong stance against summer departures.

The Black Cats, who signed a contract that would have kept them together until 2028, are reportedly seeking a sum of money between £10 and $15 million in order to break up.
