All the latest transfer news and gossip for Brighton and Hove Albion and across the Premier League
Former Manchester United player Dwight Yorke believes Brighton's Pervis Estupinan is the perfect fit for Old Trafford [Metro].
The Ecuadorian left back has been a key figure for the Seagulls this term with 35 appearances across all competitions this term.
Estupinan, 27, was signed in 2022 from Villarreal for around £15m as a replacement for Marc Cucrella, who moved to Chelsea for £63m.

Yorke said: "The player would be Pervis Estupinan from Brighton. He is a great athlete and gets up and down the pitch, he really understands the position and is so mobile.
"He’s a versatile player and I think United need that energy down the left. Luke Shaw is not the player he used to be with all his injuries and it’s time to move on, United are struggling and maybe it’s down to not moving players on when they should’ve done."

The Brazilian joined Brighton for £30m from Watford in 2022 and is contracted to the Seagulls until June 2028.

Pedro has missed the last three matches due to suspension following his red card at Brentford. He is available for selection for Albion's last two matches of the season against Liverpool and then Tottenham. Pedro has 10 goals and seven assists in all competitions this term.
