Who are Brighton's transfer targets and will Van Hecke sign new deal?
Jason asked: Of the many alleged transfer targets who is the most likely to join? Johnny answered: Yes Jason it seems the continuous stream of reports and rumours goes unabated. It is of course difficult to say for sure when it comes to transfers as things change so quickly but 19-year-old Koln winger Said El Mala is a name that seems to warrant interest as his name has been repeatedly mentioned.
[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked for your questions on Brighton to ask our BBC Radio Sussex reporter Johnny Cantor over the international break. In part one of three he focuses on transfer targets and the future of key central defender Jan Paul van Hecke. Jason asked : Of the many alleged transfer targets who is the most likely to join?
Johnny answered : Yes Jason it seems the continuous stream of reports and rumours goes unabated. It is of course difficult to say for sure when it comes to transfers as things change so quickly but 19-year-old Koln winger Said El Mala is a name that seems to warrant interest as his name has been repeatedly mentioned. He fits the age and profile of a Brighton signing.
The difficulty for the Seagulls is that now they have a reputation for signing good prospects, other clubs are just waiting to pounce. Other teams have also now been linked to the German which is the challenge facing the Albion. The question being asked is 'if Brighton are interested, should we be too?
'. One thing Brighton have done though is pursue targets over a long period of time and therefore the individual knows the interest is deep-rooted and is often more likely to be in the best interest for their future career. Not a Brighton fan?
