Brighton are reportedly making headway in efforts to tie down Yasin Ayari to a new contract, according to EPL Index (Opta Stats), with talks between the club and the midfielder described as positive.
The report suggests growing confidence at the Amex that an extension can be agreed, which would represent a significant boost for Brighton given interest in Ayari from abroad. Both Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are said to be monitoring his situation, making it all the more important for Brighton to secure his long-term future before any concrete offers materialise.
While the story stops short of confirming a signed deal, it points to a constructive relationship between the club and player as discussions continue. Brighton have a strong track record of tying down promising talents on improved terms, and Ayari appears to be the latest case they're keen to resolve amid competition from Turkey's top two clubs.
