Brighton star Yasin Ayari is attracting interest from elite European duo Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan, sources have told Football Insider.
The 21-year-old has been a key man for the Seagulls under Fabian Hurzeler as they push for European qualification and triumph in the FA Cup this term.
But Dortmund and AC Milan are weighing up a potential move for the Sweden international in the off-season.
Ayari’s performances have caught the eye and the two sides are now ready to test Brighton’s resolve.
