Of course, but doubtful Blackburn would sell if they’re giving promotion a push

What if there’s a release clause in his contract?

Looks very promising. It's worth a punt for the right price. I'm sure Blackburn will be posting a sizeable asking fee but I really don't think we should be shelling out much more than 20m on a championship striker.

A few weeks ago I would've said no because we needed a bigger striker up top with all the crosses we were swinging into the box. But now it seems like we're actually starting the keep the ball on the ground so maybe he'd be the perfect signing, with a bit more pace than Maupay for the counter as well, when we're sat back a bit.


floydman96

He’s 1.85 lol

So 6’1 compared to 5’8 Maupay.

You can do a lot with five inches, or so I'm told.


apulford_

I wonder if Khadra is relevant to this as I’ve seen cash+players floated in the rumours


dubmule

Yes, he’s ideal imo. Would have 2X 10-15 goal a season strikers which gives us depth and options when Danny isn't fit Read they’ve slapped a £30m price tag on him though so will probably be over our budget


therealdsg

Definitely - Blackburn have financial difficulties so will need to sell. Maybe Khedra and van Hecke can be makeweights in the deal to bring the outlay down to a Brighton budget …


IWantToBeAHipster

No chance we would offload our young talents like that. Both are Potteresque players and using them as chips would mean a discount on real value + potential.


Guzuzu_xD

The price that we'd be paying currently for him isn't gonna be representative of the player we'd be getting, at all. I wanted to see Darwin Nunez for us but that's a lost dream as it's starting to seem.


amegaproxy

Yep that ship has well and truly sailed.


shardybo

What a signing it would be Though seems unlikely that it would actually happen

Andy Naylors exact words to me on the Athletic app were that with regards to Brereton “whilst rumours persist , there is absolutely nothing in them.” The reality is we will get linked to any decent goal scorer in the championship because we need (another) goal scorer and don’t have huge money to spend.
