Brighton are reportedly leading the race to sign Ajax and Ghana star Mohammed Kudus.

The attacking midfielder has emerged as an option for Manchester United this summer.

However, De Telegraaf states that Brighton are ahead in the race for his signature.

The Albion have more concrete interest and have already been speaking with the creative star.

While United manager Erik ten Hag admires Kudus from their time at Ajax, he is not sold on making a move yet.

United still see England and Chelsea star Mason Mount as their main target.
