Brighton are reportedly among a number of clubs who have been impressed by Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu so far this season.

The Seagulls have a host of shot-stoppers on their books at present, with Bart Verbruggen an established No.1, Jason Steele content at playing second fiddle and highly-rated prospects Carl Rushworth (Coventry City) and James Beadle (Birmingham City) out on loan.

However, there is no ruling out a shakeup of the goalkeeping department further down the line, especially if Verbruggen continues to develop and catch the eye of suitors, having been linked with Bayern Munich and Barcelona previously.
