Arsenal, Man Utd & Chelsea monitoring Charalampos Kostoulas

Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea are keeping tabs on the progress of Charalampos Kostoulas at Brighton & Hove Albion this season.

The Greek joined the Seagulls from Olympiacos last year and had a decent debut season, playing second fiddle to Danny Welbeck up front.

With Welbeck's move to Chelsea, Kostoulas has become the undisputed number nine, and he has already made a huge impression this campaign.

He has already netted four goals and provided three assists in just eight matches, and recently scored a sublime goal against the Gunners in a thumping 3-0 Premier League win.

Hence, his stock has started to rise exponentially and reports claim that Brighton could still open the door for his exit next summer. However, he won't come on the cheap with a price tag of £51m.

Kostoulas now has guaranteed playing time at Brighton, and may want the assurance of regular minutes in order to pursue a bigger challenge elsewhere at the end of the campaign.
