Brighton are reportedly pushing behind the scenes to sign Koln youngster Said El Mala in a bid to fend off competition ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Seagulls have been long-term admirers of the winger and had a bid worth between £21million and £25m plus add-ons rejected by the German club towards the end of the January window. It was also reported that Albion had a bid rejected for his older brother, Malek El Mala.
According to BILD, Brighton have been offered hope in their pursuit of the German as the forward is growing frustrated with his lack of minutes.
El Mala has started just nine of this season’s 22 Bundesliga games so far and feels that he isn’t being given his desired and promised game time. In the Billy Goats’ last fixture, he played only 22 minutes in a 3-1 loss to Stuttgart, which leaves them just six points above the drop zone.
