Brighton have activated a £40m release clause in Leeds forward Georginio
Rutter’s contract.
Leeds signed Rutter in January of last year on a five-and-a-half-year contract from Hoffenheim for a club-record deal, which could rise to £35m.
The 22-year-old scored eight goals and assisted 16 in a total of 51 appearances last season as Leeds missed out on an immediate Premier League return after relegation. Rutter played 28 minutes in Wednesday night’s 3-0 Carabao Cup defeat against Middlesbrough at Elland Road.
The Frenchman’s departure would be another major loss for Leeds who have lost Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville to Tottenham and West Ham respectively.
