Albion keen on Spurs ace Rodon
Defender Joe Rodon could be forced to call time on his spell at Tottenham due to a lack of first team opportunities.
The Wales international has struggled to convince his manager Antonio Conte and since December the 24-year-old has been limited to just 103 minutes of action on the pitch - both in the FA Cup against Morecambe and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Brighton, who welcome Tottenham to the Amex Stadium on Wednesday night, are said to be keen to sign Rodon as they look to bolster their defensive options following the recent exits of Ben White to Arsenal and Dan Burn to Newcastle.
Rodon has also previously worked with Albion boss Graham Potter after a successful spell together in the second tier at Swansea.
The 6ft 4in defender is contracted with Tottenham until 2025 but is keen to get his career back on track and play regular first team football.
Conte has previously praised Rodon and even admitted leaving him out of some fixtures could have been a mistake - but he continues to ignore him.
Albion look set to miss out on a prolific striker they have been tracking for two seasons as Newcastle United plan to swoop.
Albion have been keen to bolster their attacking ranks for a number of transfer windows and had previously been linked with a move for Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez.
Brighton were in talks last summer to land the striker from Benfica in a £25m deal but negotiations for the 22-year-old broke down.
Albion’s interest cooled but Nunez has continued to impress and Benfica’s asking price has rocketed to an eye-watering £50m plus - which is way out of Brighton’s league.
Newcastle however have no such financial constraints and their move away from the relegation places has enabled them to step-up their summer search with more confidence. Nunez is now a priority target for the Magpies and it is believed they were quoted around Uruguay international in January but it could reach closer to £60m - especially if they want to nip ahead of Manchester United, who are also keen.
