Former Coventry City goalkeeper Andy Marshall believes Carl Rushworth is worth the reported £30m valuation Brighton have placed on him, as Coventry weigh up a summer move for their former loanee, according to BBC News.

Rushworth, 25, spent last season on loan at the Sky Blues and played a key role as Frank Lampard's side clinched the Championship title. His performances between the sticks have clearly left a lasting impression, with Marshall backing the club to meet Brighton's asking price if they want to make the deal permanent.

While no fee has been agreed and Brighton's stance on a sale remains unclear, the report suggests Coventry are keen to build on last season's success by bringing Rushworth back to the CBS Arena on a permanent basis, provided they can strike a deal that satisfies the Seagulls' valuation of the goalkeeper.
