Can Uzun’s rapid development at 1. FC Nürnberg has not gone unnoticed and has drawn attention from several clubs, including Brighton & Hove Albion.
That’s according to Sky Deutschland, who state the 17-year-old’s ‘strong performances’ have ‘aroused interest’ from the Seagulls.
It’s said Brighton are one of the clubs to have put out feelers for the attacking midfielder.
The Turkey U20 international spent four years in Nürnberg’s youth system before he was promoted to their first team towards the end of last season.
Operating as an attacking midfielder and as a striker, he has scored eight goals and registered two assists from 12 games this season for the second division German club.
Uzun’s deal runs until 2026 and the report claims he could leave his current employer if there’s an offer between €5m and €10m. Sky only mention he has aroused interest from the Premier League side, without making it clear if they are willing to make an offer.
The player will turn 18 years of age next month and that will make him eligible to make a switch to England in January, if Brighton were to secure his services.
