Brighton and Hove Albion are interested in signing Aaron Mooy in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 61, May 21, 2017).

Mooy has spent the season on loan at Huddersfield Town from Manchester City and has been impressive in the Championship.

The performances of the 26-year-old midfielder have been key to Huddersfield reaching the Championship playoff final.

According to The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 61, May 21, 2017), Brighton manager Chris Hughton will offer to sign the Australia international on a permanent contract once his loan spell at the Terriers ends after the playoff final against Reading at the Wembley Stadium in London.

Huddersfield will try to keep Mooy if they get promoted to the Premier League, states the report, which also claims that Sunderland and Middlesbrough are interested in the former Melbourne City midfielder.

Given that Brighton will play in the Premier League next season, the Seagulls would be more tempting to Mooy than Sunderland and Middlesbrough.

Both the Black Cats and Boro will be in the Championship next season after getting relegated from the Premier League.
