A stellar three seasons at the Amex Stadium has seen the Mali international become an established Premier League star, and talkSPORT presenter Adrian Durham has been touting the 24-year-old for a big move away from the south coast this summer.

He claimed: “He (Bissouma) gets into every single team. He is the player (Arsenal midfielder) Thomas Partey wishes he was.

“Seriously, he even gets into Manchester City’s team and I appreciate they have got Fernandinho. But he is better than Rodri and he would get into Manchester City’s team.”

Durham continued: “He is exactly what Man United need. When I saw him, for the first time live, they lost to Spurs 1-0 at the new stadium, and he was sensational.

“He was so good at reading everything, controlling everything, setting the tempo and he has got better and better since then. So I can see him going to any club.”

Brighton signed the tenacious midfielder for £15m from Lille back in 2018, and he serves as a prime example of the Seagulls' expert recruitment in recent years.

The Seagulls showed their resilience in the transfer market by rebuffing a series of offers for defender Ben White last summer, and are unlikely to accept an offer anywhere near the figure they previously paid the Ligue 1 outfit for Bissouma - who still has two years left on his contract.
