According to CaughtOffside, various Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Liverpool, are monitoring Brighton midfielder Yasin Ayari, who is in the final year of his contract.

TEAMtalk reports that Chelsea are one of several clubs that have made enquiries about Yasin Ayari. It is also believed that scouts from interested clubs watched him last season. Chelsea's interest in Ayari is linked to their strategy of targeting young players who have resale value and potential in the Premier League. According to TEAMtalk, Brighton have already started talks regarding a potential contract extension for Ayari. Ayari has performed impressively for his club and country, and he scored two goals for Sweden in their 5-1 victory over Tunisia in the World Cup. Reuters described him as the leading player in what was a dominant World Cup opening match. The Guardian highlighted his performance in which he scored two goals and noted that Sweden’s midfield contributed to their dominance over Tunisia. Yasin Ayari's current contract is valid until June 2027.

In the 2025/2026 Premier League season, Yasin Ayari made 29 appearances, scoring 3 goals and providing 3 assists. Following this season, the 22-year-old Swedish midfielder has attracted interest from Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Tottenham. In response, Brighton are seeking to offer the player a new contract. He has been with Brighton since January 2023 and his current contract runs until June 2027. Ayari has 22 caps and 5 goals for Sweden and a current Transfermarkt market value of €35.00m.
