Brighton are eyeing Independiente attacking midfielder Alan Velasco.

The Argus says reports from Argentina suggest that an offer of around £7 million has been made by the Seagulls.

There is no confirmation - either way - of that from closer to home.

But the 18-year-old is among players of interest to Brighton and has been for some time.

Velasco can play wide on either side, as an attacking central midfielder or just off a main striker and is seen as one of his nation's brightest attacking prospects.
