Brighton make approach for Arsenal's rising star despite interest from European rivals

Brighton and Hove Albion have joined Chelsea in the race to land Arsenal hotshot Khayon Edwards.

The 18-year-old has been in flying form for the Gunners so far this season, scoring 17 goals and registering six assists in 22 appearances for the academy. Edwards has led the line for the under-18s for most of this campaign – scoring 16 at that level – but has also made two appearances for the under-23s.

The youngster's performances have caught the eye of several top clubs and Mirror Football can reveal that Brighton are among the admiring parties and have enquired about bringing the Englishman to the South Coast. Of course, the north Londoners are hoping that they can persuade the exciting prospect to remain at the club and sign his first professional deal.
