TOTTENHAM are checking on Sunderland’s Anthony Patterson for the rest of the year before deciding if the Black Cats keeper will be their emergency signing.

Patterson, 24, looks the perfect fit for Spurs, who need cover for injured Guglielmo Vicario — ideally one who would be happy as a reserve.

The respected Black Cats No1 is ready for the step up to the top flight but it may have to be as a second choice.

Sunderland will not want to lose Patterson in their bid for promotion to the Prem — though they usually sell at the right price so Tottenham could do a deal.

Spurs have also considered James Trafford at Burnley but the England Under-21 stopper would cost a lot.

Ivory Coast keeper Yahia Fofana of French side Angers is in their sights too.

Patterson established himself as Sunderland’s first choice goalie in the 2021-2022 season.

He has since gone on to star for the club 137 times.

Last year, Patterson made his England U21 debut as a half-time substitute in a 2-0 defeat to Japan at St George’s Park.

He has been touted as one of the best goalkeepers outside the Premier League.

Man Utd and Liverpool have been linked with a move for Patterson in the past.

Meanwhile, Tottenham and Aston Villa have joined the race for Reims’ young midfield star Valentin Atangana.

The Cameroon-born wonder, 19, is earning rave reviews in France — and 26 top sides watched him play last week.

He has been called the next N’Golo Kante by the French media.

Atangana has played at various youth levels for France, from U17’s to U21’s.

In 2022, he starred for his country in the European Under -17 Championships, who went on to win the competition.
