Owned by Tony Bloom, Royale Union Saint-Gilloise have a special connection to Brighton & Hove Albion, which is why we have seen players from the Seagulls been sent to the Jupiler Pro League club over the past couple of years.
Percy Tau is one who is fondly remembered at the Stade Joseph Marien, and Kaoru Mitoma, who was bought by the Premier League side in the summer, is currently making a name for himself there.
However, what we haven’t seen all that much is players from Union SG being linked with a move to the Amex, until now.
The man in question is Dante Vanzeir, a 23-year-old striker who already has 10 goals and six assists for the club in the Jupiler Pro League in 15 appearances.
Jeunes Footeux in France claim that Brighton, alongside Brentford and Atalanta, have taken an interest in the player,
They point out that he is currently valued at €3m on Transfermarkt, but make it clear ‘there will be a need to put a lot more on the table’ to convince the current Jupiler Pro League leaders of parting ways with their man.
That, or Tony Bloom steps in and allows the transfer to go through for the good of both his clubs…
