Celtic will be in the market for a new goalkeeper this summer with Joe Hart announcing his retirement at the end of the season – and Brendan Rodgers is keen on another Englishman between the sticks.

Hart, who turns 37 today, has been a wonderful signing for Celtic.

Taken to Celtic by Ange Postecoglou from Tottenham – who is ironically, now Spurs boss – he has since played 146 times north of the border.

He will need a replacement.

A report from Sunderland Echo claims that Rodgers is looking down south and at a potential move for England U21 stopper Anthony Patterson – who is impressing at Sunderland.

Breaking into the side through the academy, Patterson has now played 121 times at senior level for the Black Cats.

In that time, Sunderland have only conceded 141 goals – Patterson keeping 37 clean sheets.

That form has caught the eye of Rodgers north of the border, as Celtic look to bring in a new no.1 with a Champions League campaign on the horizon.

But Celtic do not have the cash of Arsenal and Liverpool.
