JUST IN: Kyril Louis Dreyfus ready to lock horns with PL Club owner in a SHOCKING transfer chase of super brilliant young talent.
Sunderland are reportedly interested in signing 19-year-old goalkeeper Vladyslav Krapyvtsov, who is also being targeted by Premier League side Chelsea, according to a top foreign source.
**Sunderland Transfer Rumours & Team News**
While the transfer window has closed, there are still exciting rumors surrounding Sunderland. However, there are also concerns about potential exits, with young talents Chris Rigg and Anthony Patterson being linked with moves away. Rigg, just 17, is attracting attention from Liverpool and Real Madrid, while Patterson remains a key figure for the Black Cats with a bright future ahead.
In addition to these transfer rumors, Sunderland are dealing with injury issues. Defender Dan Ballard was seen on crutches after their unexpected 3-2 loss to Plymouth Argyle, and new signing Ian Poveda remains sidelined with a thigh injury. Despite these setbacks, Sunderland are performing well on the pitch, currently sitting second in the Championship table.
**Sunderland Eyeing Teenage Goalkeeper**
According to Ukrainian outlet Zorya Londonsk, Sunderland are interested in acquiring Ukraine Under-19 goalkeeper Krapyvtsov, who is also attracting interest from Chelsea and Hull City. Krapyvtsov, although unknown to many Sunderland fans, is a promising youth international with a bright future.
While his potential arrival may spark concerns about Patterson’s long-term future at the club, the hope is that both goalkeepers could remain at Sunderland for years to come. Krapyvtsov has earned seven caps for Ukraine’s Under-19s and could further develop by joining Sunderland, initially starting in the youth setup before potentially advancing to the senior team.
Though predicting the success of young players is difficult, the fact that Krapyvtsov is currently on trial with Chelsea’s Under-21s highlights his potential, suggesting that Sunderland would be making a smart move by attempting to bring him to the club.
