Brighton and Hove Albion have been the newcomers in the Premier League and are looking to make their debut season in the top tier a memorable one in the terms of results. However, they will need a number of new players in their team who have ample exposure of playing in the top flight over the past seasons.
One such player, who is right on the top of the target list for the Seagulls is Moses Simon, who is currently playing for the Belgian club KAA Gent and has shown great composure on the pitch in the last season in the domestic as well as European tournaments. The Nigerian winger has one of the fastest pair of feet in European football in the current scenario and has attracted interests from a number of clubs from all over Europe including Brighton and Hove Albion.
The 22-year-old Nigerian has been one of the brightest talents in the current scenario and has already been a potential target for a number of clubs from the Premier League apart from Brighton, the list consisting of fellow Premier League clubs like Tottenham, West Bromwich Albion and Liverpool.
Brighton are the newcomers in the Premier League and are interested in players who have a good amount of experience at the highest level. Moses Simon made a telling impression in the match between Tottenham and Gent in the Europa League in the last season and has become one of the most sought after players by the Spurs coach Mauricio Pochettino as well, who is a big fan of young players and likes to build superstars out of youngsters.
Brighton have reportedly tabled a bid of £8.4 million to rope in the player for the next season, only to see it being rejected by the Belgian outfit. As per sources, Gent is looking for a better bid to let go of their prized possession and have put a tag of £13 million on him.
Chris Hughton, the man in charge of the Seagulls, has already brought in three players in the form of Mathew Ryan, Josh Kerr and Pascal Gross to strengthen their team for the next term. However, he is looking forward to bring in someone who has good experience of playing in the top tier of his domestic league as well as European Championships.
The Nigerian international can be a good addition to the roster for the Seagulls, as his pressing ability and prowess can make him one of the leading attackers in the Premier League and make a solid impression.
