Brighton and Hove Albion are in advanced talks to seal the transfer of Nancy striker Anthony Koura,according to reports.

The Radio Omega FM claim that the Les Chardons are listening to offers for the former Nimes man, with Nantes and Montpellier intrested in the Burkina Faso international.

Koura,24, joined Nancy in July 2016 for undislosed fee but he does not wish to play in the lower division after his side was relegated to Ligue 2.

And now Brighton are beleived to be lining up to £8million bid for the forward as they look to strengthen ahead of their debut Premier League season.

Koura scored 5 goals in 10 Ligue 2 games for Nancy last season, and will be hoping to hit double figures this season if he sign for Brighton.

The forward did not join the rest of Nancy squad in Europe and is now undergoing his own fitness regime in the UK.
