Brighton keeping tabs on Werder Bremen star

The Danish international is highly rated, with Everton having previously been sniffing around the 26-year-old before he joined the German side from FC Copenhagen last year.

The 26-year-old is an energetic, box-to-box midfielder who has shown that he is just as adept supporting the attack as he is fulfilling his defensive duties.

Delaney was a standout performer for Denmark as they qualified for this summer's World Cup and according to the 'Daily Mail' Chris Hughton sees him as exactly the sort of player he needs to add to his squad in order to establish the 'Seagulls' as a stable, Premier League club.

Given Delaney's standing, any deal is likely to be reliant on Brighton ensuring their Premier League status, with the club currently sat in 13th, some seven points clear of the drop with four games of the season to go.
