It is likely that Leeds and Brighton will be linked with the same players. This is, of course, mostly utter rubbish (Although it may be The Athletic in this case so plausible). The only reason why they are both linked is because they are in the same market bracket. That's how lazy desk journalism works.
'Leeds have made enquiries about x. Brighton, Crystal Place, West Ham, Southampton (delete as appropriate) are also interested'
Most of the time no such enquiries have been made in the first place.
A number of years ago I started a false rumour in Twitter about a player that was plausible Brighton might like. Just to see how far it went. It reached the papers and the pretend ITK Twitter accounts within four days.
Only stopped when 'Naylor said no'.
The secret is always to find out the Q source.

I’m having a summer off from the Albion, so ignore these rumour threads.
But the reliable Guardian are now reporting this as close to completion.
Exciting if it comes off, TB comes up with the goods.
Pace to burn, brilliant dribbler, goals with either foot.

Yup. Every season from when he came to Östersund he always had at least one and usually more 190+ cm strikers. Funny enough they were rarely the top scorers but they made it a lot easier for attacking midfielders to score 20+ goals.
If a strong, tall striker with PL level technique turns up I'm sure it would be interesting, problem is that every other club would feel the same way.
Shite? He remains the best player in the world. No doubt whatsoever. If you like stats, look at them. If you like football, look at him. It all points in the same direction.
Hardly. He repeatedly kicked the shit out of the English top 6 however.

Thanks for that. He is exactly what we’ve been looking for. Not sure where the winger thing comes in from other posters. He looks central.

So I’ve seen 5’ 11”
He looks tall enough to play with his back to goal.

Nico G - direct pacey and can finish. Can take penos after Pascal misses one.
BDB - great attitude and decent player.
Can someone explain why defenders can win almost every defensive header but have a lower rate on attacking headers?

Because the opposition’s defenders win almost every defensive header?
It's just my luck to get followed around here by a simpleton.
I support the Albion.
Pretty much everyone here supports the Albion, except you.
I've supported the Albion for well over 40 years.
The demographic suggests most here have supported the Albion for well over 40 years
In my time supporting the Albion, here's just a few of the 'highlights' I (we) have seen:-
(Highlights has ' ' around it because they are not, that's me being sarcastic - a pattern you really should have picked up on by now, but more of that later)
A striker score all his goals on his debut.
A moonwalker.
Mike Trusson.
A DJ trying his luck at that there football ting - not once but inexplicably TWICE.
An absolutely offensive lunatic who's goal was celebrated at the AMEX.
Raphael Meade.
One of our actual highlights cost a set of tracksuits.
We've cheered on Labradors, poodles, pitbulls but mostly tired terriers.
We've seen The Best and he wasn't.
We've had care workers (niche not many will know that) relatives of good players, we even had Kemy.
Being me is a horrifically low point in evolution, I have no idea where that puts you.
But you carry on stalking me here if that's what you need to get through your day, it doesn't bother me as much as it bothers others here.
But there must be a tiny corner of you brain left that isn't completely bunged up with mozzarella, saying:-
He can't mean Lionel Messi is shite.
For the love of God listen to that voice.
Because in a small off shoot discussion centred around 'not good enough - what more do you people want'.
Anyone who has Bryan waded through the 7 circles of hell that has been Brighton's attacking players for 35 of of his 40+ years calling Messi shite is most definitely being SARCASTIC.

Looking good but I hope won’t be taking penalties, not a fan of the stop/start run up

While I agree with you in that style gives me a heart attack to watch, Hemed was one of one of the best penalty takers I've seen

Kinda reminds me of the Ali J & Locardia highlights…
25 million, says to be transfer hijacked by another club, and if it’s not then there’s a reason….

They always look good in their videos.
Hmm , I can imagine Neal Maupay looking at this guy and asking, “what’s he got that I haven’t “ ?
The Bundesleague is decent but not as highly rated as our Prem. he scored, I think 6 in 15 appearances. I understand we are not going to sign world beaters but I would not see him as the Messiah .
Still, as GP would say , it would give us options....

To be fair Locadias wasn’t too great. He barely scored in his own highlights reel [emoji38]
