Brighton and Leicester City Lead the Race to Sign £40m-Rated Porto Striker

A pair of Premier League clubs look to be leading the race to sign Porto striker Moussa Marega this January, with the Malian forward impressing in the Primeira Liga this season.

FootMercato report that both Brighton and Leicester City seem the most likely to sign the forward due to their need for a lethal striker, which may come in the form of Marega.

Marega, 26, spent the previous season on loan at Vitoria Guimarares where he scored 13 goals in 25 appearances, leading to Porto choosing to keep hold of the Malian striker this season, a decision which proved to be fruitful for the club.
