Manchester City are said to be stepping up their efforts to complete a deal for Brighton star Marc Cucurella.
Cucurella has been a superb signing for the Seagulls amid an excellent season under Graham Potter.
The Spaniard was Brighton’s player of the season as they secured a ninth place finish.
But after just one year, he is being linked with a move away, with City reportedly eyeing a move.
Pep Guardiola is said to be very keen on pulling off a move for his fellow countryman, and efforts are reportedly being made.
