Brentford previously made an attempt to sign Fiorentina defender Michael Kayode and while the Bees are still interested in the youngster, there are also links with Brighton & Hove Albion.

This comes from SportItalia, who have been reported on Kayode’s situation and information from journalist Alfredo Pedulla.

He’s revealed the 20-year is determined to leave Fiorentina and work is ongoing to find the right solution that suits all parties involved.

Brighton and Brentford have made enquiries for the youngster in the past few days and their approach ‘can quickly become concrete’, with La Viola ‘more willing’ to make a sale than they were in the past.

The report mentions Aston Villa were keen on the player in the summer but club sporting director Monchi was unable to reach an agreement.

Brighton and Brentford would be encouraged by the fact that yesterday it was suggested Fiorentina could accept a fee of around €15m for Kayode, whose valuation has dropped from around €30m in the summer.
