Coventry City are reportedly closing in on a deal to bring goalkeeper Carl Rushworth back to the Coventry Building Society Arena, with talks between the Sky Blues and Brighton said to be edging towards final details, according to EPL Index.
The report suggests Coventry have emerged as clear frontrunners for the Brighton stopper, seemingly outpacing any rival interest in the race for his signature. Rushworth previously spent time on loan at Coventry, giving him familiarity with the club and potentially explaining why a return move is gathering pace.
While EPL Index stops short of confirming a completed transfer, the framing indicates negotiations have progressed significantly, with Coventry positioned as the driving force in getting a deal over the line. Brighton, for their part, appear open to sanctioning a switch as discussions move forward.
Nothing is signed and sealed just yet, but if the current momentum described in the report holds, Rushworth could soon be back in Coventry colours, this time on a more permanent basis after his previous loan spell there.
