Yves Bissouma agent confirms 'significant interest' from Arsenal, Man United and Monaco

Bissouma, 24, has been in sparkling form for Brighton this season and had previously been linked with a January move to Arsenal and Liverpool.

The Mali international, who is rated at around £35m, has flourished under Albion head coach Graham Potter and has been the key man in their midfield this campaign.

Bissouma joined Brighton for £15m from Lille in the summer of 2018 and is contracted to the Seagulls until June 2023.

N'Cho claims Arsenal and Liverpool maintain their interest in Bissouma but that he is also wanted by Manchester United, Monaco and two clubs in the La Liga.

Mikel Arteta is said to be a huge fan of the competitive midfielder and feels he'd add some strength to his under-performing midfield.

Liverpool, who have also been linked with Brighton's Ben White, are keen Bissouma and is seen as a possible replacement for Gini Wijnaldum, who could be heading to Barcelona.

Brighton are in no hurry to cash in their star man and proved they can be quite stubborn in the transfer market when the rebuffed three bids from Leeds United for White last summer.

Albion see Bissouma as key to their Premier League survival and would not want to part company with their star man this January.

Bissouma produced another eye-catching display in the 1-1 draw against Sheffield United today.

Brighton are 16th in the league table and two points clear of the bottom three. Potter's team will be action once more this Sunday at West Ham on December 27.
