The England goalkeeper is available on a free transfer after rejecting a new deal at Portsmouth.
“He’s still England’s number one goalkeeper. He’d be a good short term signing for us,” Bruce told the Daily Mirror.
“But what we have to decide now is to whether make a signing or whether the two young keepers that we have are ready for the Premier League.
“The Premier League is a very tough place and we’ll have to take some time to think about whether they’re ready for that.”
