Wrexham have completed the signing of Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson for a club-record initial transfer fee on a four-year deal.
Although the official figure was undisclosed by the two clubs, Sports Illustrated understands that the Red Dragons will pay a club-record £8 million ($10.8 million) upfront, with several performance-related add-ons included on top of that. Wrexham’s previous transfer record stood at the £7.5 million ($10.1 million) they spent to sign Nathan Broadhead from Ipswich Town last summer, although that deal could ultimately rise to a higher figure than Patterson’s total package.
