According to Sky Sports (Transfer Centre 23rd August, 11:41 GMT), Championship outfit Brighton and Hove Albion are interested in securing the services of Gillingham star Bradley Dack.

Brighton missed out on promotion into the Premier League last season in excruciating fashion and one can be sure that the Seagulls are now determined to make amends during the current campaign.

Manager Chris Hughton has done well to keep hold of the core of the squad which performed so well last season and the 57-year-old has perhaps unsurprisingly not made too many signings over the summer.

While the current Brighton side looks more than capable of challenging for promotion this season, Hughton will be well aware of the fact that there is an increased level of competition in the division due to the heavy spending of the likes of Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers among others.

Therefore, it is expected that Hughton will look to strengthen his squad by recruiting a couple of new faces before the end of the summer transfer window and now according to Sky Sports, claims have been made that Brighton are currently interested in Gillingham star Bradley Dack.

Dack enjoyed a stunning campaign last term, scoring 15 goals as well as providing 10 assists in all competitions and he was handed the League One Player of the Year award for his exploits.

Dack’s performances last term have unsurprisingly caught the attention of a host of clubs from the Championship and it is believed that Gillingham could part with their star man for an offer of around £2 million.

Brighton have been credited with an interest in Dack today by reliable source Sky Sports and it will be interesting to see if the Seagulls are able to land the services of the 22-year-old during the upcoming week.
