Coventry City F.C., led by Frank Lampard, secure first signing ahead of Premier League competition
Coventry City F.C. are leading the race to sign Carl Rushworth on a permanent deal after his impressive loan spell under Frank Lampard.
The goalkeeper played a key role in Coventry’s promotion-winning campaign and is now keen to stay at the club, despite interest from Newcastle United F.C.. Any deal would need to be agreed with parent club Brighton & Hove Albion F.C..
Lampard is believed to have had a major influence on Rushworth’s development, with the player eager to continue working under him. The 23-year-old has seen his reputation grow significantly, even earning recognition at international level.
Rushworth also made history this season by breaking a long-standing club record for consecutive minutes without conceding, surpassing Horace Pearson’s mark set in 1934.
With Newcastle United F.C. looking to reshape their goalkeeping options, Coventry are pushing to secure Rushworth early as part of an ambitious summer following their return to the Premier League.
