According to Football365.com, Brighton continue to monitor the market for Sevilla striker Rubén Vargas and could intervene if negotiations progress towards figures closer to the player’s market value.

Ruben Vargas reportedly prefers a Premier League move, which is a major advantage for Tottenham Hotspur over West Ham. Brighton & Hove Albion are mentioned as being in a leading position along with Tottenham Hotspur for the signing of the 28-year-old. Sevilla value Ruben Vargas at £13m this summer and are reportedly maintaining their €15m (£13m) asking price.

Reports suggest Ruben Vargas might be available for approximately €15m, but that figure could increase in the coming weeks.

Brighton has joined West Ham in showing interest in signing Sevilla winger Rubén Vargas. West Ham made the initial move for the Switzerland international, and Brighton is now reportedly preparing a formal offer. According to both Marca and Mundo Deportivo, Brighton is the latest club to become interested and intends to submit an official bid for the 27-year-old following his impressive World Cup performances. Marca specifically identifies Brighton as the most recent club to express interest, claiming that Fabian Hürzeler’s side is preparing a formal proposal for Sevilla. Vargas' World Cup performances are attracting attention from the Premier League, leading to Brighton's readiness to make a formal offer.
