Bart Verbruggen has poured cold water on reports claiming that the Brighton No. 1 is considering his next career move.

The Dutchman has enjoyed a sensational start to the season, recording seven clean sheets in 10 Premier League appearances and is yet to concede a goal in five Conference League matches.

Although the likes of Pascal Gross and Luka Vuskovic have earned widespread praise for their role in Brighton’s impressive form, Verbruggen has been instrumental too, both with his distribution from the back and his shot-stopping ability.

As such, top clubs around Europe have him firmly on their radar. As revealed by The Brighton Base previously, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Tottenham and Bayern Munich are among his fondest admirers, though reports elsewhere have thrown the likes of Liverpool and Aston Villa into the mix.
