Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi eyes move for Serhou Guirassy
According to a report from 90min, Brighton are among the Premier League teams interested in signing Serhou Guirassy. The Stuttgart striker has defied all odds this season and scored a whopping 13 goals in his opening seven Bundesliga games – A record-breaking start to the season for the 27-year-old.
