According to reports, Liverpool and Brighton and Hove Albion have been monitoring Anderlecht defender Kara Mbodji.
The Reds are said to be viewing Mbodji as an alternative to Southampton star Virgil van Dijk, whom they failed to sign during the summer transfer window.
Brighton meanwhile view him as a possible replacement for Lewis Dunk, who has been linked with moves to other clubs as a result of his impressive performances so far this season.
The 28-year-old Mbodji is perhaps at the peak of his career and has so far played 14 games for Anderlecht in all competitions this season. His agent has revealed that there has been interest from Premier League clubs during recent times.
“Kara has attracted a lot of interest from Premier League sides, we held talks with representatives from those clubs in London last Sunday,” said Ediz Balkan. “There are six-seven clubs from the Premier League in talks but I can’t reveal the offers right now.”
