Been having a look at the Raskin situation today and noticed something quite interesting. Probably absolutely nothing, but worth keeping an eye on 😂
I've seen no current reports linking Raskin with Brighton, so this isn't an ITK shout or a rumour.
Brighton have just sold Carlos Baleba to Man United for £65m plus £5m in add-ons and were reported to be looking at Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara as a possible replacement.
Camara's situation is still unresolved and he's attracting plenty of interest.
That's what got me thinking.
If Brighton get Camara, there's probably nothing in this whatsoever 😂
But if they don't, they'll presumably have other midfield options.
Brighton have been linked with Raskin before — although the link I can verify is from last summer rather than anything current.
Positionally there's at least some logic to it as well. Raskin can play 6/8, is comfortable receiving the ball deep and progressing possession. He's not a like-for-like Baleba replacement, particularly in terms of Baleba's athleticism and carrying, but it's broadly the area Brighton need to address.
They've obviously got the financial capacity after selling Baleba too.
Meanwhile McInnes has confirmed Rangers haven't received a formal bid for Raskin despite leaving him out while a potential transfer is being resolved.
So I'm absolutely NOT saying Brighton are signing Raskin 😂
Just wondering whether Camara might be an interesting one to watch.
If Brighton don't get him and suddenly appear in the Raskin conversation before the window closes, this post might age quite well. 👀😂

Could be something, could be nothing, Nomad, time will tell.

I'll be glad when this Raskin saga is over. 😂 It's been frying my brain. Surely one of my theories is correct. ✅
The wait continues. 😜
