Brighton engage in positive talks with Tottenham over a loan move for winger.
Brighton & Hove Albion have reportedly opened negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur for a young forward who joined the North London club just last summer.
Although the summer transfer window is still some time away, speculation about potential departures from Tottenham Hotspur is already circulating.
Up to ten first-team players could leave Spurs in the summer, with some nearing the end of their contracts and others falling out of favor in recent months.
However, a surprising departure could be on the horizon, as Brighton have reportedly shown interest in signing a Tottenham winger.

According to Fichajes, Brighton have set their sights on a summer move for Wilson Odobert and are displaying ‘strong interest’ in the French winger.
Despite missing a significant portion of the season due to injury, Odobert has been identified by the Seagulls as a player who could thrive in their system.
The report claims that Brighton recognize his ‘enormous potential’ and believe he could develop into a key player at the Amex Stadium.
Interestingly, Tottenham are reportedly open to loaning out Odobert to ensure his progress isn’t hindered by limited playing time.
The publication adds that negotiations between the clubs have already begun, and the player himself is said to be open to a temporary switch to Brighton.
Ange Postecoglou’s View on Wilson Odobert
This report might come as a surprise to some Spurs fans, particularly since Odobert has been playing regularly since recovering from his injury.
In fact, Ange Postecoglou recently praised the young winger, highlighting his talent and potential.
Speaking last week, the Spurs boss expressed confidence in Odobert’s abilities and his future development.
“He’s one of those players who can take defenders on, find space, and is a great technician.
I’m really pleased for him to get his goals,” Postecoglou said. “He’s worked hard and quietly to get back into the team.”
The Australian manager also acknowledged the challenges Odobert has faced since joining Spurs.
“It was a big move for him, and unfortunately, due to injury, he hasn’t had the chance to showcase his ability. But this is just the beginning for him,” he added.
With Brighton keen on securing a deal and Tottenham considering a loan move, Odobert’s future remains uncertain as the summer window approaches.
