Brighton and Hove Albion boss Chris Hughton is busy plotting another survival mission in the Premier League next season.
Brighton were one of the stories of the season as they tasted Premier League football for the first time in their history finishing 15th on the magic 40 points.
Chris Hughton was rightly lauded for the job he did with the Seagulls.
And he will have to recruit well this summer to ensure Brighton can pull it off again in what promises to be one of the most fiercely contested divisions for many a year.
To that end the club has been linked with a rather sensational swoop for Paris Saint-Germain youngster Moussa Sissako with The Daily Mail suggesting last week the deal was all but done.
The 17-year-old defender was also wanted by newly-promoted Wolves but the Mail claimed Sissako rejected the offer of a professional contract from PSG to agree a four-year contract with Brighton.
But just when it looked like the deal had been done there appears to be a last minute hurdle for Brighton to overcome if a new report from France is anything to go by.
According to Paris United, PSG are so desperate to keep the highly-rated prospect they are planning last ditch talks to try and change the centre back’s mind.
Talks were held between sporting director Antero Henrique (pictured above) and the player this week in one last effort to convince the youngster to sign professional terms with them instead.
Sissako played in the UEFA Youth League last season where he was hugely impressive and would be a significant coup for Brighton should the player resist PSG’s last gasp attempts to make him stay.
