Two journalists with connections to their local clubs have reported two different things, so the truth is somewhere in the middle. However this is an improvement on the report at the beginning of the thread that appeared to be based on hearsay.
Also making a bid and accepting a bid are two differing things. I'm glad that CCFC aren't giving running commentary on every enquiry they recieve, but I would be very surprised if Brighton haven't tested the water after their manager watched the player in question.
