Brighton and Hove Albion are reportedly in the picture to sign Watford’s Colombian wonderkid Yaser Asprilla.
The 19-year-old only joined the Hornets in 2022 and despite not having a huge season in the Championship, he’s attracting interest.
He did however star for Colombia at the Under-20 World Cup as he scored two goals in four games.
Asprilla is a quick and exciting winger who is a defenders nightmare as he just needs to work on his end product.
Due to this he has found himself the subject of much interest from multiple top European clubs.
Brighton are among the numerous clubs rumoured to hold an interest in taking Asprilla from Vicarage Road.
This would make it two talented youngsters that the Seagulls have taken from Watford this summer, following Joao Pedro.
Brighton interested in Asprilla
Brighton are looking into the signing of Asprilla according to journalist Christian Martin as reported by Antena 2.
The report claims that Roberto De Zerbi’s side have already asked Watford about his availability and to enquire as to the fee required to secure his services.
It also added that Brighton will be facing competition from Real Madrid who have been keen on the Colombian for a ‘long time’.
This could be stiff competition for Brighton however for a young player in world football right now, there is no better place to go than Brighton.
Asprilla likely wouldn’t be a starter for either club, but he would see a clear pathway at Brighton as many have done before him.
The winger would be a brilliant signing who would likely be quite cheap and could see his value skyrocket quickly.
