The 20-year-old spent final season on mortgage at Brighton and impressed for the Seagulls as they reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup and secured European soccer for the primary time of their historical past.
Regardless of reviews suggesting that new Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has the teen firmly in his plans for the upcoming marketing campaign Liverpool are refusing to finish their pursuit and have made a number of enquiries about his availability.

Brighton have already given up and are going for Calvin Bassey as an alternative as a result of they didn’t get the impression they may get a deal over the road. However Liverpool have gotten much more cash than Brighton and have the flexibility to do a deal at a better quantity than what Brighton are have been capable of do.

Klopp’s precedence this summer season was to strengthen his midfield choices and having accomplished the signings of each Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai already the German tactician could now flip his consideration to reinforcing his backline.
Ibou Konate and Virgil van Dijk are the previous Borussia Dortmund supervisor’s most popular central defensive choices however with Joe Gomez struggling for consistency final time period and Joel Matip now within the ultimate yr of his present deal a brand new signing would definitely make sense.
Chelsea won’t wish to promote certainly one of their extra thrilling younger skills to an enormous rival but when they obtain the proper provide and the participant is keen to depart then a deal could very properly be accomplished – take Mason Mount’s current transfer to Manchester United for instance.
