Liverpool 'preparing £30m January bid for Yves Bissouma'

Liverpool are reportedly prepared to step up their interest in Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Yves Bissouma.

Having consistently impressed during his three years at the Amex Stadium, the Mali international has been linked with a move to a bigger club in the Premier League.

The Seagulls managed to retain the services of the 25-year-old in the summer, the player since going on to help his club sit in sixth position in the top-flight standings.

However, according to journalist Ekrem Konur, Liverpool will look to tempt Brighton into a sale at the midway point of the campaign.

Aware that Bissouma's contract expires in 2023, Konur claims that Brighton will be willing to accept a bid of £30m.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are also said to be monitoring the situation.
