Brighton Make Shock Bid for Former England Goalkeeper as Chris Hughton Eyes Defensive Reinforcements

Brighton & Hove Albion are hoping to lure former England keeper Scott Carson to the Amex this summer, according to a report in the Sun.

The Premier League side are reported as having made a bid for the Derby County stopper this week and are planning to up it to around £2.5m following the Rams' snub.

The Championship side, now managed by Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, are quite averse to selling their player, who is considered a hero amongst the supporters. But the folks at the Sun reckon the veteran stopper could be tempted by the possibility of a final stint in the Premier League.
