Brighton have opened talks with Leicester City for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
The Athletic says Brighton are working on signing the 25-year-old.
Brighton have opened negotiations with Leicester - who want £30m for the player.
Currently, there is a gap between what Brighton offers and what Leicester are demanding.
Brentford are also after Dewsbury-Hall, but Brighton are in the driver's seat because they can offer European football.
Two more clubs from London, Arsenal and Fulham, also admire the player.
