Brighton and Hove Albion are pushing hard to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. The Seagulls have already been linked with a number of top quality players ahead of new manager Fabian Hurzeler’s first campaign in charge.
The midfield area was a particular cause for concern last season as previous manager Roberto De Zerbi battled to cope with the losses of Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo from last summer’s transfer window.
Brighton are now doing their utmost to address that and are doing all they can to bring in Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester City. The midfielder was excellent for the Foxes last term and scored 12 goals with 14 assists during their Championship title-winning campaign. Dewsbury-Hall is rated at around £35m but Brighton have reportedly offered their Poland international Jakub Moder as a part-exchange.
Moder is said to have already undergone a medical with Leicester but Chelsea – who else? – could yet scupper the arrangement with a late bid for Dewsbury-Hall. The Seagulls are also in the running for Leeds United attacker Crysencio Summerville. Brighton have held talks with Leeds for the player who scored 19 goals with nine assists in the Championship. Summerville, 22, would be another fine addition but Brighton face competition from Liverpool for the player valued at around £30m.
