Chelsea target Brighton goalkeeper as Begovic replacement


David Stockdale news

Stockdale on Blues radar

Premier League leaders Chelsea are planning to lure David Stockdale to Stamford Bridge once his contract expires with Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer.



The former Fulham shot-stopper has been particular impressive for the Seagulls in the second half of the campaign, and this has earned them top-flight promotion after a 34-year wait.

According to The Star, the Blues are weighing up a move for the Englishman, who has yet to extend his terms with the newly-promoted outfit.

Brighton are said to have already tabled a two-year contract on the table, but Antonio Conte's side are neverless lining up a contract offer to tempt him to west London.

The arrival of a new goalkeeper at Stamford Bridge is likely to coincide with the exit of Asmir Begovic, who is desperate for first-team football as a domestic rival next season.

Begovic was the subject of interest from Bournemouth during the previous transfer window, but Chelsea failed to find a suitable replacement in order to let him go.
