Neal Maupay is at the centre of a three-way Premier League transfer battle, with Everton and Fulham ready to battle Nottingham Forest to the Brighton striker's signature.
The 26-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Seagulls this summer after falling out of favour, with Danny Welbeck and Deniz Undav ahead of him in the pecking order. Maupay was left out of the Brighton squad for their 0-0 draw against Newcastle United on Saturday.
That came after newly-promoted Forest agreed a £15million fee for the Frenchman, with Steve Cooper keen to strengthen their forward line despite already signing Emmanuel Dennis and Taiwo Awoniyi for a combined £32million. However, Maupay is stalling on agreeing personal terms with the Reds after holding talks with Frank Lampard.
