A market has emerged on Brighton & Hove Albion signing two players from their Premier League rivals during the January transfer window.

Graham Potter's side defeated Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United by a single goal on Saturday, Neal Maupay grabbing the winner following an excellent move.

But that hasn’t stopped the ongoing transfer talk.

Interestingly, SkyBet are offering odds on the Seagulls signing Tottenham's England international left-back Danny Rose during the winter window.

Brighton are priced at 20/1 to conclude a deal for the 30-year-old former Sunderland loanee, who has fallen out-of-favour with Spurs boss Jose Mourinho.

Leeds United and Crystal Palace also feature in the betting at the same price, whilst odds are also being offered on West Ham (16/1), Newcastle United (16/1), Burnley (16/1), Sheffield United (8/1), PSG (8/1) and West Brom (5/4) concluding a deal for the defender.

SkyBet also have Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero priced to make the move to the Amex Stadium at 25/1.

Indeed, it has been suggested that the Argentina international might not return to Manchester again as he angles for a permanent transfer away from Old Trafford this month.

United have reportedly given Romero permission to train in Argentina. But if he is unable to arrange an imminent transfer, the stopper will be expected back at Carrington.

However, Spanish club Valencia remain favourites with the bookies to secure his signature at the short price of 4/6 whilst Boca Juniors are also contenders at 2/1.
