Brighton coach Roberto De Zerbi wants to sign the player who scored the most goals this season compared to Harry Kane.
After picking up a point against Liverpool, Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton and Hove Albion side will be hoping they can truly restart their top-four campaign after the international break.
At times this season they have shown they are capable of being among the best in England, it just depends on the consistency factor.
Already thinking about the January transfer window, astute tactician Roberto De Zerbi will keep an eye on who he wants to recruit.
Ideally, he wants to bring in a reliable goalscorer who will upgrade his current options.
With Evan Ferguson likely to leave in January, this seems like the position that needs to be strengthened first.
According to a report from 90 Minutes, Brighton are among the Premier League teams interested in signing Serhou Guirassy.
The Stuttgart striker has defied all odds this season and scored 13 goals in his first seven Bundesliga matches – a record start to the season for the 27-year-old.
With more goals than Harry Kane and his team, who sit second in Germany’s top division, it’s no surprise that he is attracting interest from a number of big European clubs.
Europa League cult heroes West Ham and Brighton lead the chase, while Crystal Palace and Bournemouth are also following up on their fiery starts to the season.
Serhou Guirassy has certainly proven that he has goalscoring instincts.
With Evan Ferguson possibly on his way out, this is exactly the caliber of player Roberto De Zerbi wants to bring in.
Given that Guirassy is Stuttgart’s most important player, they will expect a high fee if they are willing to sell him.
