Brighton are in talks with FC Ingolstadt 04 about signing left-back Markus Suttner, according to Sky sources.

Sky Sports News HQ understands the Bundesliga club have rejected an initial offer for the Austria international, but newly-promoted Brighton remain interested.

The Seagulls have already signed attacking midfielder Pascal Gross from Ingolstadt this summer, as they prepare for their first season in the Premier League.

Hughton's next target Suttner has been playing for Ingolstadt for the previous two seasons, making over 50 appearances, having joined them from Austria Vienna in 2015.
