Brighton has been closely monitoring 18-year-old Estoril defender Jordan Arnolin, but faces competition from other European clubs. A representative from Barcelona was present at the Estádio do Dragão for the match between FC Porto and Estoril to specifically observe Arnolin in what was his first start. During that match, he played as a defensive midfielder, demonstrating a versatility that has reportedly interested the Catalan club. Lille, which also had a representative at the game, and Brighton have been following the defender's evolution with increased attention.
