Swansea City is eager to secure Brighton & Hove Albion’s goalkeeper Carl Rushworth on loan again for the upcoming season. Luke Williams has confirmed this desire, highlighting Rushworth’s impressive impact this past season where he played every minute of the Championship season and earned three player of the year awards.
His stellar performance in SA1 has even led to speculation about a potential call-up to the England squad for Euro 2024, cementing the belief that he has a bright future ahead as an England regular.
Having honed his skills during stints in League Two with Walsall and League One with Lincoln before joining Swansea last year, Rushworth already has over one hundred and thirty league appearances under his belt at just twenty-two years old.
With talks of a possible move to the Premier League and continued interest from England, Rushworth’s future seems promising. Ipswich is now reportedly eyeing him as they have secured a spot in the Premier League and are in need of a goalkeeper with two current players potentially leaving.
While there are also rumors of Arsenal showing interest in Brighton’s Jason Steele, Brighton may decide to hold on to Rushworth as either their starting or backup goalkeeper for the next season. However, the possibility of Rushworth wanting regular playing time may influence his decision to stay at Brighton.
The speculation surrounding Rushworth this summer means Swansea may have to look elsewhere for a goalkeeper, with Viktor Johansson from Rotherham being considered as a potential option. However, Rushworth remains a priority for Swansea, and it will be interesting to see how his future unfolds in the coming months. Time will tell what lies ahead for the promising young goalkeeper.
