Liverpool and Brighton are in contact with Anderlecht defender Kara Mbodji.

Mbodji's agent has revealed he's been speaking with Premier League clubs in recent days.

“Kara has attracted a lot of interest from Premier League sides, we held talks with representatives from those clubs in London last Sunday," said Ediz Balkan.

“There are six-seven clubs from the Premier League in talks but I can't reveal the offers right now."

And Turkish-football says two of the clubs in contact were Liverpool and Brighton.

The Reds see Mbodji as an alternative to Southampton stopper Virgil van Dijk, while Brighton boss Chris Hughton has him under consideration with Lewis Dunk attracting interest from Premier League rivals.
