Brighton & Hove Albion 'table third offer for Reading's Liam Moore'

Brighton & Hove Albion have allegedly returned with a third bid for Reading defender Liam Moore.

The Seagulls have offered to a pay an increased up-front payment of £8m after twice failing to reach an agreement with the Championship club, reports Sky Sports News.

Brighton's latest bid is also said to include a series of add-on payments that Reading will receive over the course of Moore's contract.

Moore has spent two seasons with the Royals, playing a key role in the side that reached the playoff final in 2016-17, and he has three years remaining on his existing deal.

Brighton have already signed Leon Balogun, Florin Andone and Jason Steele during the summer transfer window.
