Brighton & Hove Albion are in the market looking for a new forward, if reports coming out of France are to be believed.
On December 23rd, we covered claims made by L’Equipe the Seagulls have asked about Toulouse forward Max-Alain Gradel, while Saudi Arabian side Ettifaq FC and Turkish club Kayserispor are also following him.
Foot Mercato now explains the English side are also looking at Amiens’ Moussa Konaté.
It’s claimed that in recent days, Graham Potter’s side ‘inquired’ with the Ligue 1 side the conditions needed to sign the 26-year-old in the winter market.
The Senegal international’s contract with his current employer runs down in 2021 and Amiens have set a valuation of €10m for the attacker.
Even though the price seems high, Foot Mercato adds the fee quoted appears to be ‘within the standards of goalscorers of his calibre’.
Konaté has scored 20 goals in the league in the last two seasons, but has managed to score only one goal this term. It’s to be noted he’s played for only 328 minutes and made only three starts this campaign.
