Brighton is one of several Premier League clubs to have checked on Lyon's 25-year-old Czech attacker, Pavel Šulc, in recent weeks, and Aston Villa, Brentford, Everton, Fulham, Nottingham Forest, and Bournemouth are also monitoring him. Leeds United have continued their pursuit of the player after showing an interest last summer. Crystal Palace is also showing an interest and could attempt to secure a double deal that includes Tyler Morton. The Czechia international has 18 caps and 4 goals for his country. He has scored 10 goals and provided 3 assists in 20 Ligue 1 appearances this season. Šulc joined Lyon from Viktoria Plzeň in August 2025 for a reported fee of €7.5 million plus bonuses, and his current contract runs until 2029. Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €12.00m.
