Brighton have £25m bid accepted for Feyenoord star Mats Wieffer - with Liverpool NOT in the race for Dutch midfielder

Brighton have had a £25m bid accepted for Feyenoord defensive midfielder Mats Wieffer, 24.

The Seagulls, who had a £30m bid rejected for Leeds United forward Georginio Rutter, have also offered £7m plus add-ons for Gothenburg midfielder Malick Yalcouye, 18.

Liverpool are not in for Wieffer as they believe they have enough cover - despite Dutch reports.

Wieffer joined Feyenoord in 2022 having previously played for FC Twente and Excelsior.

He has been capped nine times by the Netherlands and has scored once.

Rutter has scored eight goals and provided 17 assists in 64 games for Leeds.

The former France Under-21 international joined Leeds from Hoffenheim in January 2023.

Yalcoue, meanwhile, signed for Gothenberg from ASEC Mimosas in February and has played eleven games in the Swedish top flight.
