Leeds and Brighton are chasing 20-goal Blackburn striker Ben Brereton for the January market.
The i News reports Brereton's international switch to represent Chile as well as his fine goal scoring form has opened up new potential markets.
The 22-year-old - who has six months left on his current deal - is attracting interest from South America, Europe and the Premier League.
