Connolly has starred for Albion's under-23 team this season and has already scored 15 goals, including nine in ten Premier League 2 matches.

He has made two first-team appearances for Brighton in the League Cup and was in the travelling party for the last Premier League match with Cardiff but did not make the final 18-man squad.

Sky report that Connolly, 18, is stalling on the offer of a new contract because of concerns over his pathway into the Albion first team, and the Seagulls are considering letting him out on loan in the January transfer window.

Before joining the Seagulls, Connolly was on trial at Manchester United and Sky Sports News reports the Manchester giants are monitoring the Irish striker's development, along with Manchester City and other clubs from the Bundesliga.
