Brighton have had a £9million bid for Porto's Moussa Marega rejected.

The 26-year-old Mali international striker scored 13 goals on loan at Vitoria Guimaraes last season.

Brighton have also asked about 19-year-old Portuguese winger Dany Mota at Virtus Entella.

Mota was born in Niederkorn, Luxembourg and can play on either flank.

Chris Hughton is eager to bolster his attacking options before the transfer window closes at 11pm on Thursday night.
