Brighton goalkeeper Christian Walton has been told he can leave this summer.

Sky Sports says Walton will be allowed to leave Brighton this summer, with several unnamed Sky Bet Championship clubs interested.

The 25-year-old, who has spent time on loan at Blackburn and Wigan in recent seasons, wants to play regular first-team football.

Walton has only one year left on his current contract and Brighton are keen to sanction a sale this month, rather than lose him on a free next summer.

The keeper would act as cover to Robert Sanchez should he stay at Falmer stadium this term.
