Lewis Dunk's agent David Lee has spoken about the interest in his client after signing a new deal at Albion this summer.

The Albion skipper had been linked with top six sides such as Chelsea and Tottenham over the summer, before putting pen to paper on a new five-year deal at the end of last month, which ties him to the club until the end of the 2024-25 season.

However, speaking to Sportmole this week, Lee said his client is in demand every year.

He said:"There's been a lot of interest - every summer I get calls on him. It's Brighton's interest as well to keep him on long-term deals.

"The boy (Dunk) is happy there, his kids are in school, he's just built his own house in Brighton, he's really happy there.

"I think if a top-six club comes along and really push the boat out for him then it'd be hard to say no, but he's had quite a lot of chances to move to other Premier League clubs but doesn't see that as a forward step.

"It's just a shame he's not in the England squad as I think he fully deserves it."

Albion have always maintained when it comes to Dunk that he is not for sale and Lee spoke about how good the club have been to him.

He said: "Every game you go and watch Brighton, he's in the top three players for sure. He's the best player... I might be biased but I think if Brighton lost him that'd be a massive blow to them. The owner has been great, the owner and the board, every time we've asked for a new contract.

"I think he's signed a new five-year contract five summers out of the last six. They've kept bumping him up because there is interest and they want to keep him and keep him happy

"They nip it in the bud really, if there is a little bit of interest they give him a long-term contract, up his money so they've managed him as a club really well.

"They've been really fair - a lot of clubs would say 'well, you've got four years left so no, unlucky' but they've said 'no actually you've done great and we're pushing the barrier up again and we're taking you with us'.

"They've been great, they've managed him really well and he's never really had to put his foot down or kick off to get something - it's always been an easy one to do."
