Yves Bissouma is being lined-up for a deadline day move away from Brighton, with Manchester United, Spurs and Aston Villa all eyeing-up the midfielder.
The 25-year-old is due to return to the seaside club after Mali were cruelly knocked-out on penalties in the AFCON last-16 by Equatorial Guinea, after Bissouma featured in all four of his nation's matches at the tournament.
Bissouma has established himself as a crucial figure in Graham Potter's side, and will return to a thriving team sat ninth and 15 points above the relegation zone.
