The inside track on the football stories that matter
The Seagulls triggered a £40million release clause in the 22-year-old’s United contract on Wednesday after failing with two previous bids.Sources say the Frenchman was offered a significant wage increase to make the move to the Premier League after Leeds failed to earn promotion last season.
Rutter picked up an assist in the former as he looks to carry his impressive form from last season through, but Brighton have now moved quickly to bring him to the AMEX. The Seagulls’ Premier League season is set to begin with a trip to face Everton at Goodison Park on 17 August, and they want to get the deal over the line before then.
