The more important parts of that report are:

"The two Premier League sides want to get a deal done before the deadline, but they may have to wait until the summer to land the Senegal international.
Voetbal Nieuws have reported the prospect of Crystal Palace and Leicester City getting a deal done for Mbodji in this transfer window is now looking unlikely.
Anderlecht are keen to keep the player at the club at least until the end of the season, and have offered the central defender a salary increase as compensation.
However, Anderlecht have promised Mbodji a move in the summer transfer window, when he could finally achieve his dream of playing in the Premier League"

Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing!

If true I wonder who is initiating this contact seeing as we don't have a manager.

What happens if the incoming manager has his own ideas about who he wants?

I have no idea how to say that name, but if it's how I think it is then I have a song for him already, originally by Pretty Ricky:

Mbodji, your body (it's burnin up)

He's captained Senegal so guess that ticks the leadership box we desperately need...

That's decided then, HOL has a recommendation to make to FdB. Willo, can you whistle up a contact?!
