Brighton have so far referred suitors to the £115m fee they received from Chelsea for Moises Caicedo in 2023, believing another nine-figure sum would represent fair market value in the case of Baleba. But insiders now believe a deal could be struck closer to an overall package worth around £70m (€80m, €94.5m).

You can't miss it, the giant Crossbar flanked by two stylised crosses in black on the whitewashed outside walls glares down the street, a stone's throw from Brighton's Churchill Square. Outside is the narrow shelf that the co-owner Lucy Tallant, the DIY enthusiast of the pair, attached to the wall for those wanting to hang around outside. As she worked on that shelf, two girls walked past and one proclaimed: Yeah, they're opening a lesbian club.

"Every goal you score is great, but from that far out to get all three points is extra special," Wilson said. "I've had a really good run of form from the end of November until now and, as an attacker, you are judged on these numbers.

When the couple bought this basement flat in 2019, it hadn't been lived in for several years. Ru and Holland described it as "pretty wrecked" and a "very damp and dark basement that hadn't been properly dealt with since the 1980s." "It was the cheapest place on a super nice street in Seven Dials, Brighton," Holland continues. "We lived in it, with the rats under the clattered floorboards and decaying, mouldy walls for five years until we were able to remortgage and redesign our home.
