# Virals: Liverpool target Yves Bissouma reportedly ready to quit Brighton

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/05/10/virals-liverpool-believed-to-admire-patrick-bamford/) may have been handed a potential boost in their [widely reported](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/liverpool-bissouma-analyzing-two-key-factors-summer-swoop) pursuit of Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder [Yves Bissouma](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/04/30/virals-liverpool-interest-in-yves-bissouma-known-to-brighton-officials/).

According to a fresh report from [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/yves-bissouma-requests-brighton-amp-hove-albion-exit-cs2572hwl) as cited by the [Liverpool Echo](https://twitter.com/LivEchoLFC/status/1391714885814439937) on Twitter, the 24-year-old has requested a move away from the South Coast club this summer

The report also credits Arsenal and Manchester City as holding an interest in the [18-cap Mali](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yves-bissouma/nationalmannschaft/spieler/410425/verein_id/3674) midfielder.

One major stumbling block in any move from the Reds could hinge on the [final four fixtures](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) of the season, with Bissouma believed to want UEFA Champions League football.

This season, the man [described](https://readliverpoolfc.com/fantastic) as ‘fantastic’ by ex-Liverpool striker Peter Crouch, has earned an average [Sofascore rating of 7.06](https://www.sofascore.com/player/yves-bissouma/844842) in 33 Premier League outings.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Signing Bissouma this summer would be an ideal starting point for Jurgen Klopp’s summer business.

With Gini Wijnaldum looking more likely than ever to move on for free when his [contract expires](https://talksport.com/football/852926/liverpool-transfer-news-georginio-wijnaldum-contract-barcelona/) at the end of the season, the Malian would act as an automatic replacement for the Dutchman.

Hailed for his tackling, dribbling and ball interception [abilities](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/303096/Show/Yves-Bissouma) especially, Bissouma has also notched up an [87 per cent passing accuracy](https://www.sofascore.com/player/yves-bissouma/844842) this season.

Whether Klopp, Michael Edwards and co can persuade the [£15.3million valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yves-bissouma/marktwertverlauf/spieler/410425) ace that Anfield is the place for him regardless of Champions League football remains to be seen.
