Rushworth had a stellar season, helping Coventry win the Championship title and earning a spot in the Team of the Year. Coventry clinched the title with two matches to spare after a 3-1 win over Wrexham. He kept 16 clean sheets in 45 appearances and is keen to extend his time at Coventry under Frank Lampard, according to multiple reports.
Newcastle United and other suitors are interested, but the seriousness of their pursuit is unclear. Rushworth has yet to debut for Brighton since joining in 2019, with opportunities limited behind Bart Verbruggen and Jason Steele. Brighton are pushing for a return to Europe and sit sixth in the Premier League, which may affect their willingness to sell.
