One highly rated Eredivisie midfielder is being encouraged to wait for a better offer as Brighton close in on his services. Since the arrival of Erik ten Hag back in 2022, the Red Devils have signed no fewer than seven players who either worked with the former Ajax boss or came up against him in the Eredivisie.
