Brighton goalkeeper Christian Walton in Blackburn talks

Brighton goalkeeper Christian Walton is a loan target for Blackburn Rovers.

The 23-year-old has spent the past two seasons on loan at Wigan, helping them win the Sky Bet League One title during his first campaign at the DW Stadium.

Blackburn have been looking to bolster their goalkeeping options after allowing David Raya to join Brentford.

Sky Sports says Rovers are understood to be in the market for two new goalkeepers this summer and are also keen on Oxford's Simon Eastwood.

Walton, who has been capped by England at U19, U20 and U21 level, has two years remaining on his contract at the Amex Stadium.
