"Brighton are in the lead for Said El Mala, but it could be that other interested clubs still have a chance in this race, like Newcastle and Chelsea."
"The Brighton offer was about 35m plus 4m in add-ons, and Cologne want 50m. If they don't get this money, perhaps they'll be open to talking with Chelsea again."
"El Mala looks very likely to be playing Premier League football next season. Now we have to see whether he ends up at Brighton, which is the current plan."
Said El Mala, a promising 19-year-old forward from FC Koln, is a target for both Chelsea and Brighton. Brighton is currently leading the race but may struggle to meet Koln's asking price of around 50 million. Their offer stands at 35 million plus 4 million in add-ons. If Brighton fails to meet Koln's demands, Chelsea could re-enter negotiations. El Mala is expected to play in the Premier League next season, with Chelsea looking to strengthen their attacking options.
