Having sold Marc Cucurella for a huge fee in the summer, Brighton & Hove Albion replaced the Spaniard with Pervis Estupiñan from Villarreal.
While that was a like for like, there remains a gap in the squad for a second left-back, which is why the Seagulls are interested in Souleyman Doumbia.
This comes from Foot Mercato, who state the 26-year-old, who is a regular starter for Angers SCO in France, is a target for Brighton.
It’s said the Premier League ‘particularly appreciate’ his profile and could ‘quickly make an offer’ for the Ivory Coast international.
However, it’s added that Brighton aren’t the only clubs on the defender, because another English side, one from Germany and a Greek team are all also keeping an eye on him for a potential January transfer.
Those aren’t named, but it appears that Roberto De Zerbi’s side might not have the easiest time getting their man if they are to come forward with money for a winter move.
Doumbia joined Angers back in 2020 from Rennes for €3m, and has since made 78 appearances for the club, picking up four assists along the way.
