The number-one goalkeeper spot at Brighton will be "potentially a big headache" for Fabian Hurzeler next season, says former Seagulls defender Guy Butters.
Current first choice Bart Verbruggen, who played every minute of the Premier League campaign, has been linked with a move away - including to Spurs in Wednesday's BBC Sport gossip column.
Of their other goalkeeping options, Carl Rushworth has impressed on loan at Coventry City this season as Frank Lampard's side won the Championship, while Jason Steele will travel to the USA with Thomas Tuchel's England squad to help with training.
"We're blessed in the goalkeeping position," said ex-Brighton midfielder Warren Aspinall.
"If Verbruggen wants to leave and the right price is there, then the chairman should say, 'thank you for coming, wish you all the best' and sell him.
"Steeley has done nothing wrong when he's played and Rushworth has done ever so well for Coventry. So, it will be a fight between those two for the number-one spot if Verbruggen wants to move on."
"It will be interesting to see who's happy to sit on the bench," added Butters.
"If Verbruggen does go, I think Steeley will be thinking he deserves that number-one spot. Is the other lad willing to come to another Premier League club and sit on the bench? I think Coventry would be keen to snap him up.
"There is potentially a big headache for the manager in the goalkeeper position."
