Brighton have been linked with a summer swoop for Le Havre midfielder Pape Gueye but West Ham and Leicester are also interested.
L’Equipe reported the interest of the three Premier League clubs on Wednesday, with the newspaper indicating Le Havre are getting ready to sell the 20-year-old.
Gueye is heading into the final year of his contract with the Ligue 2 club and Le Havre officials think it will be difficult to sign him up on fresh terms.

Brighton snapped up Yves Bissouma from Lille last summer and could be looking to add another quality signing from France to their ranks in the next transfer window, which opens on May 16.
