Brighton are one of eight teams reportedly interested in Rennes’ rising star Mohamed Kader Meite.
The 18-year-old has impressed so far this season, scoring three goals and registering two assists in 18 appearances in all competitions, with his displays highlighting his immense potential.
The towering forward, who stands at 6ft 4in, is highly regarded in France, and his development has caught the eye of a host of top clubs in the Premier League.
However, those suitors may have already been caught flat-footed as Al-Hilal are looking to steal a march on their rivals in the race to secure Meite’s signature.
