Brighton are lining up a move for Celtic midfielder Stuart Armstrong.

Brighton manager Chris Hughton is busy working through his shopping list drawn up in the aftermath of their Premier League promotion.

And high on the agenda is Armstrong, with Albion's scouting network have discussed his talents and current situation at the Scottish champions.

The midfielder's brilliant season at Parkhead has seen him perform at Champions League level, win a first Scotland cap and also secure a regular spot in Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers' team.

Brighton remain keen, but bookies suggest they're not alone with Bournemouth and West Brom also interested.

However, at 5/1, should Armstrong choose to leave Celtic, Brighton are regarded as favourites.

Rodgers, however, is adamant none of his key men will be leaving this summer as he looks to build a team capable of returning to the Champions League group stage and impressing in Europe.
