Liverpool are among the clubs interested in signing Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma, according to freelance journalist Jonathan Shrager.

The reporter claims to have spoken to the Malian’s representative, Michael N’Cho, who told him that there is “significant interest” in the player from the Reds, Manchester United, Arsenal and three other teams:

Bissouma has been linked with a move to Anfield in recent weeks, with some tipping him to be a long-term replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum, who is expected to leave the club when his contract expires next summer.

It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will firm up their interest in the 24-year-old, but the Seagulls will likely drive a hard bargain for the midfielder who cost them £15m when he signed from Lille two years ago.

Bissouma has shown marked improvement as a player over the past year and, considering his age, it would be a deal that would make a lot of sense.
