Brighton and Hove Albion will need to significantly up their bid for Terry Yegbe, with Crystal Palace, Fulham and Sheffield United still in the lead for him.
That’s [according to Fotboll Direkt](https://fotbolldirekt.se/opublicerade-nyheter/elfsborg-kraver-mer-kan-bli-dyrast-genom-tiderna/), who dispel reports emerging from Ghana regarding the defender and insist Brighton are not close to winning the race for him.
They explain that despite reports in Ghana insisting Brighton are about to sign Yegbe for 58m kronor, around €5.4m, no move is currently on the cards.
According to their information, such a figure would not be enough to secure the 24-year-old’s signature. Instead. Elfsborg club manager Stefan Andreasson wants around 70-75 kronor for him. That’s around €6.5m to €6.98m.
As far as Fotboll Direkt are concerned, there has been no change from their latest report four months ago which stated Crystal Palace, Fulham and Sheffield United are in the lead for him.
Either way, Elfsborg are looking at making a major profit on the player and definitely eyeing a new record for a defender, which is Marcus Danielson’s 50m kronor move to China.
Brighton are already 8m over that but it’s nowhere near enough, potentially leaving Crystal Palace, Fulham and Sheffield United with a chance to get the defender in the coming months.
