Brighton are reportedly one of three English clubs interested in signing Borussia Monchengladbach star Rocco Reitz. The midfielder has impressed in recent weeks for Germany at the European Under-21 Championship, and his performances have not gone unnoticed among Premier League sides.

The Seagulls are said to have been monitoring a host of players battling it out in Slovakia this summer, with Liverpool star Harvey Elliott among those heavily linked with a move to the Amex Stadium.

According to TEAMtalk, Brighton are also interested in Monchengladbach star Reitz, who is expected to leave the Bundesliga outfit before the start of next season. The playmaker made five appearances at the U21 Euros, registering two assists, and consistently shone in Antonio di Salvo’s side.
