Brighton have been offered hope in the race to sign Rennes’ Mohamed Kader Meite.
The forward has been linked with a host of clubs in recent weeks following his strong start to the season in France, scoring three goals and registering two assists in 18 appearances.
Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Brighton were among eight clubs cited as being among the 18-year-old’s suitors. Al-Hilal are also thought to be pushing to sign the striker in a deal worth £35million, but a Saudi switch does not appeal to the player.
Manchester United are the latest team to be linked with Meite, with numerous reports claiming that the Red Devils are weighing up whether to make a move to sign the Frenchman this month.
