Brighton join Habibou chase

Skysports.com understands that Brighton & Hove Albion are the latest Championship club to cast an eye over Habib Habibou. The 24-year-old African spent last week training with West Ham United, and is understood to have impressed - grabbing two goals in his first trial match. But he is also attracting interested from elsewhere and after playing in a behind-closed doors game for Watford, he is linking up with Gus Poyet's side. The Zulte Waregem ace is keen to seal a move to England in January, and his Belgian employers look set to agree to a loan deal. It is believed a number of other Championship clubs, and even some Premier League clubs, are contemplating taking a look at the Central African Republic-born marksman.
