Man Utd Set to Make Move for Sunderland Goalkeeper Anthony Patterson

Published

on

Manchester United are monitoring Sunderland’s standout goalkeeper Anthony Patterson, but they’re up against competition from Liverpool, according to The Sun.

The 24-year-old has been a top performer in the EFL Championship, conceding just six goals in seven matches this season. With four clean sheets, he ranks among the best in the league, leading to heightened interest from Premier League clubs.

According to The Sun, former Manchester United goalkeeper and current scout Tony Cotton is closely monitoring England U21 international Anthony Patterson as the Red Devils consider a potential move. While Andre Onana is Erik ten Hag’s first-choice keeper, the link of Altay Bayındır with a departure from Old Trafford has prompted United to look at Patterson as a potential replacement.

However, the 6ft 2in goalkeeper is also attracting interest from Premier League rivals, including Liverpool, who see him as a possible successor to Caoimhín Kelleher, according to the report.

Patterson’s contract at the Stadium of Light runs until the summer of 2028, with Sunderland valuing the goalkeeper at around £20 million, according to The Sun.

Currently, Erik ten Hag has Andre Onana as his first-choice keeper, with Altay Bayındır and Tom Heaton also in the mix, though their futures at the club remain uncertain. As a result, Manchester United is eyeing Patterson not only as a backup option but also as a potential future replacement who could challenge the 28-year-old Onana for the starting role.

The 24-year-old has demonstrated remarkable shot-stopping ability in the Championship this season, making a strong case as the best goalkeeper in the division. His reflexes are exceptional, and he shows impressive composure with the ball at his feet.

Competition from Liverpool could pose a challenge for Manchester United in their pursuit of Patterson, who will likely weigh his chances for first-team opportunities at any new club.

United are already focused on bringing in young talent for other positions, particularly in midfield and attack, and Patterson could become the first young goalkeeper signed under the club’s new ownership if they manage to finalize a deal next summer.

Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are in a three-way race to sign Rodrygo Goes.

Published

on

Real Madrid’s Rodrygo Goes has been linked to the Premier League, with Liverpool and Manchester City showing interest. Despite denying the rumors and expressing contentment in Madrid, there are signs that a move could be on the cards this summer.

Rumors suggest Rodrygo could leave Madrid this summer for more prominence and a new challenge. According to Relevo (via 90min), Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are interested, with the Brazilian, who has 13 goals and 10 assists this season, potentially available for around £85 million.

Liverpool best placed to sign Rodrygo

Rodrygo Goes has been one of the world’s top players recently. While he hasn’t received as much attention as Jude Bellingham or Vinicius Junior, the 24-year-old remains highly talented. His English teammate even called him the “most gifted” player in the Real Madrid squad, suggesting he’d thrive in the Premier League.

Liverpool, long interested in Rodrygo since his youth days in Brazil, could be well-positioned to sign him, especially if they generate funds by selling Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, or even Luis Diaz. Their sporting project and recent success in multiple competitions would make them an appealing destination for the Real Madrid star.

Arsenal, focused on securing a centre forward, might be reluctant to spend £85 million on Rodrygo. Meanwhile, Manchester United may struggle with both his wage demands and Real Madrid’s asking price, especially given their current financial and sporting challenges compared to other suitors.

Arsenal submit £51 million bid for Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres.

Published

on

Arsenal have missed out on the Premier League title once again and are staring down the barrel in the Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain ahead of this week’s second leg. As their search for a major title continues, a striker’s purchase has long been set as the primary goal for this summer’s transfer window in addition to making other signings.

According to El Nacional (via 90min), Arsenal have made a £51 million bid for Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres ahead of a potential summer move. With Manchester United also interested since Ruben Amorim’s arrival, the Gunners are keen to act quickly and secure the deal.

Gyokeres has a release clause of around £85 million, and Sporting are reportedly holding out for an offer closer to that figure. As a result, Arsenal may need to raise their bid or turn their attention to other targets like Victor Osimhen or Benjamin Sesko.

Arsenal could sign Gyokeres imminently

Sporting Lisbon’s £85 million asking price for Viktor Gyokeres is within Arsenal’s budget and may be worth meeting, given the Swedish striker’s impressive record this season. With 52 goals and 12 assists across all competitions, he leads Europe’s top marksmen in terms of contributions in the final third.

Despite having a long list of targets, Arsenal’s appointment of Andrea Berta as sporting director brings them closer to securing a deal for Viktor Gyokeres, thanks to his strong relationship with the striker’s agent. With little left to focus on this season unless they reach the Champions League final, a move for Gyokeres to England seems imminent.

Arsenal could land Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus for around £50 million.

Published

on

Dusan Vlahovic is expected to leave Juventus this summer as he enters the final year of his contract in Turin without any sign of an agreement owing to a difference in the wage expectations of both parties. He has been linked with a move to the Premier League with Arsenal among those most heavily chalked up as his next potential destination.

Mikel Arteta is openly seeking a striker this summer, and Dusan Vlahovic—who has 14 goals and 5 assists this season—is seen as a cost-effective target. With just a year left on his Juventus contract, he could be available for around £50 million, according to Caught Offside.

Vlahovic made a strong impact at Juventus after his standout spell with Fiorentina, but he’s now reportedly open to a move abroad to elevate his game. While Chelsea, Manchester United, and Newcastle previously showed interest, their pursuit has cooled in recent weeks.

A decision to make for Arsenal

Arsenal have explored several striker options in recent months, likely holding talks with multiple targets. However, with defenders, midfielders, and wingers also on their shortlist, it’s crucial they avoid overspending on a single position.

When it comes to signing a striker, Arsenal must soon choose between proven performers like Benjamin Sesko or Viktor Gyokeres, or a high-potential talent like Dusan Vlahovic. With interest heating up, it seems only a matter of time before a new frontman arrives at the Emirates.
