Chelsea will turn their attention to Brighton goalkeeper David Stockdale if they fail in their attempt to sign Celtic stopper Craig Gordon, the Sunday Mirror reports.

The Premier League leaders have failed with an initial bid for Gordon, who would provide cover for Thibaut Courtois if Asmir Begovic leaves Stamford Bridge this month.

However, with Celtic reluctant to part with the Scotland international, the Blues have switched their attention to Stockdale.

The 31-year-old has just six months left to run on his current deal with the Sky Bet Championship leaders.
