Brighton keeper Sanchez reveals special Casillas text

Brighton goalkeeper Roberto Sanchez has revealed he received a text message from Spain legend Iker Casillas.

The 23-year-old is reportedly being watched by Spain and England for an international call-up.

But Sanchez insists he is solely focused on playing for Albion.

He said: "All of my focus at the moment is on Brighton and my football here in the Premier League.

"If the opportunity does come, then I'll sit down and decide."

Sanchez added: "My style of game perhaps doesn't match him but Iker Casillas was unbelievable.

"I did an interview the other day and he was friends with the person doing it.

"He sent me a little message saying about how well I was doing. It was amazing."
