Chelsea target Stockdale rejects Brighton contract offer

Brighton goalkeeper David Stockdale has rejected a new contract offer.

The Mirror says the 31-year-old keeper is now a free agent and looks set to leave the club despite their promotion to the Premier League.

Leeds-born keeper Stockdale played a huge role in getting Brighton into the top flight but has rejected an extension.

Stockdale has already attracted interest from Leeds while Chelsea were keen on the ex-Fulham keeper in January.

They could see him as back-up to Thibaut Courtois if Asmir Begovic joins Bournemouth this summer.
