Midfield
Brighton

Manchester United are interested in Liverpool and Arsenal transfer target Yves Bissouma, Brighton's Malian 24-year-old midfielder who has impressed this season. (Express)

Been a lot about him. He's a bit shit for Brighton though

Who

Get Guendouzi back, buy Bissouma and Auoar (or another creative #8) , promote Azeez and don't renew Ceballos' loan and sell Elneny, Xhaka, Willock and Torreira.

Midfield next year: Partey, Aouar, Bissouma, Guendouzi and Azeez.

The stupid club who has defended xhaka are concerned about someone’s discipline

Thought he looked good against us.

I like him, not sure he's elite but good enough for our midfield, also like signing within league. Needs more creativity than just him and Partey though.

Shit! Shit, shit, shit,shit,shit. Last night, sky sports did a bit with super Kevin Campbell, about Bissouma following Brighton's draw against Everton to highlight his MoTM performance and emphasising (overly, in my biased opinion) that he could easily grace ANY of the top six teams were he to leave the south coast in the summer.

Not only is the cat now well and truly out of the bag, they've effectively gone and stuck a great big red flashing neon arrow sign pointing down directly above his head to rival anything ever seen in Amsterdam's red light district, trust me on that.

It's not so much the fear of having City, United, Liverpool and even Everton with their greater financial clout now cast an eye and pay attention, it's that I've foolishly allowed myself even if only for a fleeting moment, to dream of Partey and Bissouma forming the core of our midfield next season and have a wicked partnership not seen since Ronnie and Reggie were in their prime.

Brighton certainly won't be complaining if a bidding war ensues to push the price up in £5M increments no doubt, as my fears stem from silent Stan's grip on the purse strings having once even concerned his own physician that Rigor Mortis had set in.

For a good price he'd be a good signing. Already shown he can do at PL level.

if it means the end of xhaka then im all for it

I agree

Bissouma for 30m would be a good deal imo. 100m summer raid on Brighton?

If we're already specifying a number, chances are Brighton value him higher than that. Still £35m ish would be a good price given his reputation, age and PL experience
