As the January transfer window approaches, fans of Brighton ponder if their club will make any new signings. The team have had an eventful season with wins over Liverpool, Wolves and Chelsea. They are 9th in the Premier League right now, and they are looking to boost their results with a January shake up.
So far, Brighton have signed the Argentinian midfielder, Facundo Buonanotte from Rosario Central for a rumoured max of £10 million. This could boost the Seagull’s performance, so if you fancy a wager, head to Football at Midnite.com
Chelsea have tried to pry midfielder Moises Caicedo from Brighton, offering 55 million euros, but Caicedo chose to stick with his club.
Let’s see what else is happening this January for Brighton.
Mykola Matviyenko
Matviyenko and Brighton boss, De Zerbi, worked together in Ukraine, and they could well shake hands again this January. The 26-year-old centre-back is with Shakhtar Donetsk, but given his 54 caps and defensive skills, Brighton could benefit from his signing – watch this space!
Yasin Ayari
Brighton have shown a liking of Ayari, and they have kept an eye on him while he has been at AIK Fotboll. Ayari is just 19 years old, but he could be the player Brighton need to pull away from the relegation zone. Reports speculate he will soon fly to England for medical tests, contract-signings and committal.
Mark O’Mahony
Trying to bolster their attack, Brighton look set to sign Mark O’Mahony in January. The Cork City Striker had a trial at Brighton Hove Albion, and his performance convinced the under-21 team to sign him full-time, with hopes he will move to the main team.
Jesé Rodriguez
Turkish team, Ankara Keçiörengücü, terminated Rodriguez’s contract this month under mutual agreement. The former-PSG striker in just 29, and he will be looking for his next big team. He and Brighton could be a perfect match, so let’s see what happens.
Karl Darlow
After Brighton’s goalkeeper, James Beadle, left the club to join Crewe Alexandra, Brighton have needed to fill his boots. Karl Darlow could do just that. However, Brighton are far from the only club looking to sign the keeper, with Hull City and Huddersfield Town both seeking a new keeper.
Jonathan Bamba
To strengthen their wings, Brighton could sign winger Bamba from Lille. However, his performance has attracted attention from Italy’s Napoli club and Florentina this transfer window. Competition is fierce.
Divock Origi
After his 8-year tenure at Liverpool, Origi moved to AC Milan. However, he has had limited game time and could be looking for a move. If he agreed, Origi could be a bargain for Brighton, strengthening their attack, but this is still speculation.
Let’s Wait and See this January!
While it’s impossible to say for certain whether Brighton will make further signings this January, the club needs to bring in new players to raise their defensive and goal-scoring abilities. Given their precarious position in the league, they need to make a few moves.
