The Seagulls are hoping that the lure of Premier League football can help get him to the Amex Stadium following their promotion.

And they are set to make their move to bolster their attack with the Dane, 23.

He scored 12 goals last season for his club and Hughton believes be can make the step up to the top flight.

Neil Warnock will do his best to cling on to Zohore after turning the flop into one of the second-tier's most potent hitmen in a remarkable transformation.

The Bluebirds' young player of the year is under contract until 2020 after being rewarded for his form with a contract extension.

He declared his happiness at the club earlier this week following the double capture of Danny Ward and Lee Tomlin.

But the chance to test himself in the top flight could prove too big a lure for Zohore, who would enhance his chances of winning a first international cap.
