The Seagulls, who had a £30m bid rejected for Leeds United forward Georginio Rutter, have also offered £7m plus add-ons for Gothenburg midfielder Malick Yalcouye, 18.

Liverpool are not in for Wieffer as they believe they have enough cover – despite Dutch reports.

Wieffer joined Feyenoord in 2022 having previously played for FC Twente and Excelsior.

He has been capped nine times by the Netherlands and has scored once.
