Brighton have ‘taken lead’ to sign player – Club ‘waiting’ to receive Seagulls’ €13m bid.

Brighton & Hove Albion are in the picture to sign Hammarby IF’s Bazoumana Touré.

Three months ago, we covered claims from Sweden which stated the Seagulls have sent a scout to monitor the 18-year-old.

On December 9th, Hammarby sporting director Mikael Hjelmberg stated at least €11m is needed to sell the Brighton target.

According to 225 Foot, the Premier League side are now making advances to secure the winger’s services.

Touré joined the Swedish club from Ivorian side ASEC Mimosas in March and has scored nine goals and registered four assists from 23 games this year. His impressive displays and potential have attracted interest from several clubs.

The report makes no mention of other clubs that have shown interest, but states Fabian Hürzeler’s side have ‘taken the lead’ to sign the player. It’s further claimed Hammarby are also favouring the Seagulls, who are ‘holding a tightrope’ with this case.

Hammarby are ‘waiting’, most likely from the English club, to receive a €13m bid for the young attacker.

The outlet adds the Ivorian will move to England where Brighton are likely to be his next destination.
