Brighton enter race for Bazoumana Toure

Bazoumana Toure is attracting more attention in the transfer market, with Brighton & Hove Albion now reported to be part of the chase for the former Hammarby winger.

The 20-year-old has continued his strong rise at Hoffenheim, where his pace, creativity and end product have made him one of the more intriguing young attackers in Europe.

Toure left Hammarby in a record move, and his development since then has only increased his value. He has already been linked with Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal, while Brighton’s interest adds another Premier League club to the list.

Hoffenheim are said to be asking for around 34 million pounds. That price tag shows how highly the Bundesliga club rate him, especially after a season in which he delivered five goals and 12 assists in 32 matches.

There could also be a bonus for Hammarby if a sale goes through. The Swedish club have previously confirmed they hold a sell-on clause, meaning they would receive a share of any future transfer fee.
