Brighton have agreed personal terms with a Manchester United target and talks are advancing to complete the deal, while a separate Tottenham transfer could quickly take shape if Brighton get their man.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano recently confirmed Brighton had struck an agreement on personal terms with Fenerbahce left-back, Ferdi Kadioglu.

Taking to X, Romano stated: “Ferdi Kadioglu’s long term deal at Brighton is ready and agreed in details.

“The player has confirmed to Fenerbahce personal terms are in place with Brighton. He wants to play in [the] Premier League and the two clubs are in talks to agree on transfer fee.”

Various reports in Turkey have since reported Man Utd have entered the race for Kadioglu despite Brighton’s move being advanced.
