Transfer interest is building around Said El Mala, with Brighton understood to be weighing-up a move for the Cologne midfielder. While there has been no official bid as yet, the club may act swiftly if they decide to pursue the deal before the transfer window slams shut. Brighton are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Manchester City , Bayern Munich and Inter are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. So far this season, Brighton are steady at both ends (1.62 goals scored per game, 1.23 goals conceded per game). The role for Said El Mala would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. There are currently no rumoured links for either Cologne or Brighton.
