Another link.. dubious about the source..Says it's an exclusive by Pete O’Rourke but written by someone else which seems odd.

Doesn't really make sense in terms of position and not being home grown but I suppose small chance if the idea is to replace Hemed with a home grown forward.

So suspect it's nonsense but regardless..

Southampton and Brighton are planning beat-the-deadline moves for Valencia defender Martin Montoya, Football Insider sources understands.

Southampton and Brighton are both looking to bring in a new right-back before the close of the transfer window and they have targeted a move for former Barcelona defender Montoya.

Montoya has been pushed down the pecking order at Valencia following the arrival of Cristiano Piccini to the Mestalla this summer.

Valencia are prepared to listen to offers for the 27-year-old and Premier League duo Southampton and Brighton are hoping to lure Montoya to England despite interest from Real Betis to keep him in Spain.

Montoya came through the famous Barcelona La Masia academy and spent five years in the Barca first-team before leaving for Valencia in 2016.

He has a Champions League winners medal from 2014/15 and three Spanish title wins under his belt.

He has made 67 appearances for Barcelona and 62 for Valencia, and made the bench for a Spain international, but has never made it onto the pitch.

Would be very happy with that signing - I love Bruno, but he can't do 38 games a season any more, and Schelotto just seems too inconsistent to me.

Probably just Deadline Day waffle though.

We do seem to be linked to a number of right-backs late in this window, so there may be some truth in this.

Brighton and Southampton target Martin Montoya has been excused from training today by Spanish giants Valencia.

The former Barcelona defender has been linked with Brighton and Southampton, and the Premier League pair only have until 5pm today to get deals over the line.

In a sign something could happen, Montoya has been given permission by Valencia to skip training today, according to Onda Deportiva.

It remains to be seen whether the full-back will be travelling to England for talks with interested parties and whether any agreement has been reached with Valencia.

Why all the fullback rumours today?

We’re looking for replacements for Goldson and possibly Hemed.

If there’s anything in this, he’d be best to get a move on. Although we did, of course, sign Billy Arce in Spain.

The Independent say we are in talks:

Brighton have had a busy summer already but they might add even more players to their already impressive squad. Right-back Martin Montoya, who came through the Barcelona academy and has played for Real Betis, Inter Milan and Valencia, is in talks with the Seagulls.
