The Englishman has been impressing north of the border with Steven Gerrard's Rangers and with right-back Bruno 37 years old, Brighton are interested in bringing in a fresh face.
The South-coast club have been credited with an interest in him before, with West Brom also having bids for the player turned down in the summer.
At the weekend Steven Gerrard said of the potential transfer: "I know the CEO at Brighton very well."
"I used to work alongside him at the FA. He's got my number and he knows where I am."
However he also said that it would take ''an awful lot of money'' for any bid to be successful.
