Brighton are eyeing Rennes striker M'Baye Niang.

The Daily Star says Brighton are the latest club to enter the race for Niang.

The Seagulls are in the market for a striker this summer and have enquired about the Rennes star.

Niang has scored 15 goals in 36 games in France this season and has confirmed interest from the Premier League is genuine.

He said: "It is flattering. There is no smoke without fire. There have been discussions, but today there is nothing concrete.

"In France, there are clubs that are sounding me out and are trying to get an idea of on what terms I would come. Abroad as well."
