Brighton have revived their interest in Angers forward Karl Toko Ekambi.
The 25-year-old Cameroon international was an option for Chris Hughton in the summer and is now back on Brighton's radar.
Brighton are expected to add a striker to their squad in the January window, having scored just 17 goals in 22 games so far this season - the third lowest tally in the Premier League.
They are also pursuing Celtic forward Moussa Dembele but are struggling to reach an agreement over his valuation with the Scottish champions.
