Habib Diarra, a 21-year-old midfielder playing for Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace (France), has attracted the attention of Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club (England).

Senegalese international Diarra is highly sought after in England with Brighton showing interest. The young player has a release clause and could represent a significant purchase for French club Strasbourg. However, Brighton reportedly faces stiff competition from Chelsea, Everton, Rennes, and Italian Serie A clubs such as AC Milan.

Diarra's versatility, allowing him to play in attacking and defensive midfield positions, as well as in the center of defense, reinforces his appeal to potential suitors. The young Senegalese player has played 26 matches in the French Ligue 1, scoring four goals and providing three assists. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market value at €20 million.
