Swansea boss Michael Duff plots raid on Brighton for new goalkeeper and could also turn to Premier League rivals

Sponsored by

BRIGHTON goalkeeper Carl Rushworth has joined the list of key loan targets for Championship side Swansea City.

The 22-year-old was on duty with England U-21s when they won the European Championships last weekend.

But he came home to the South Coast club to find that Dutchman Bart Verbruggen, 20, had joined.

Swans are looking for a new keeper and have also shortlisted Bailey Peacock-Farrell at Burnley for a loan spell.

But Rushworth is highly regarded in South Wales and viewed as a major alternative.

He has been at Brighton since 2018 but has been loaned out for most of that time.

The keeper has had temporary spells at Worthing and Walsall in the past.

Rushworth impressed in League One last term as well, starring on loan at Lincoln City.

He made 46 appearances for the Imps, keeping 20 clean sheets during the campaign.

Rushworth was also a member of England's Under-21 Euros winning squad, although he did not feature during the tournament.
