With Huddersfield upgrading their strike-force by breaking their club transfer record, twice, their promotion colleagues Newcastle and Brighton are taking a more cautious approach.
Both also in need of squad bolstering ahead of a tough season, one of the names that keeps popping up these days involving the Seagulls is Dijon’s Lois Diony.
The 24-year-old striker had a solid season last year with the Ligue 1 minnows, helping them avoid the drop back down to the second-tier with 10 goals in 35 games.
Diony himself made it clear when the season came to an end that he was going to leave, yet that’s very hard to do when no offers for you have been made.
So Foot in France explain that Dijon are currently waiting for ‘concrete offers’ from England for the striker after rejecting a first offer for the striker from Saint-Etienne.
Speaking to the French magazine, the club’s president, Olivier Delcourt, said: “He won’t leave for less than €10m”.
That’s Brighton told.
Go on Chris Hughton. Open that chequebook. Bring that striker to the AMEX Stadium.
