The inform man for Brighton right now has brought attracted much attention surrounding his future due to his fine first half to the season, following on from a fine season during the 20/21 campaign. Potter claims “Yves is really enjoying his football with us”, which will delight Brighton fans in a sense they’d hope that the midfielder would want to stay on with the Seagulls especially due to his importance within the team. There’s no doubt many clubs who posses the potential deciding factor of playing European football has shown an interest in the Malian midfielder which Potter acknowledges Brighton are not one of those. “It’s very difficult, because it not only hampers the relationship you have with the player, it also damages your whole structure, we’re clearly not a Champions League structured team.” This being said Brighton fans can relax for now as they’ve managed to keep hold of their star man through the January transfer window but as the season comes to an end there will be no doubt the speculation will crank up an extra notch.
