Coventry breaks piggy bank for Rushworth
Goalkeeper Carl Rushworth signs permanently with promoted Coventry in Brighton's biggest sale in history, worth around 30 million euros.
Carl Rushworth has signed permanently with Coventry on Tuesday after spending last season on loan at the English club, where he impressed in the Championship. Brighton has completed the biggest sale in their history, according to L'Équipe: approximately 30 million euros, with potential bonuses of up to 5 million more.
The 25-year-old English goalkeeper made a strong impression in the previous campaign with the Sky Blues, earning the Championship's Golden Glove award thanks to 17 clean sheets in 46 matches. Frank Lampard and his team wanted to keep him after promotion and started permanent transfer negotiations from June onwards.
Rushworth, developed at Halifax Town, joined Brighton in 2019 to complete his formation but never made a senior debut with the Seagulls. Before his loan spell at Coventry, he spent time on loan at several clubs including Lincoln City, Swansea and Hull City.
