Brighton are interested in Independiente Del Valle midfielder Patrik Mercado, as are fellow Premier League clubs Bournemouth and Fulham. The three clubs could make formal approaches in the coming weeks. The 22-year-old is attracting widespread attention and is expected to move this summer. Talks have reportedly already occurred with Brazilian clubs Vasco Da Gama and Palmeiras, as well as with European sides Wolfsburg, Braga, and Sevilla. Chelsea are also monitoring the situation, and it is believed their owners, BlueCo, may have considered him for a move to Strasbourg.
