Brighton star Yves Bissouma has deleted all references to the club from his social media accounts.

The central midfielder has long been linked with a move away from the club.

Aston Villa and West Ham United are thought to hold the strongest interest in Bissouma this summer.

The midfielder has removed all pictures of him playing for Brighton from his Instagram account.

He also added a hammer emoji to his bio on the platform.

According to The Times and other sources, Bissouma had asked to leave Brighton this summer due to interest from several Premier League teams.
