It’s been an unusually busy start to the summer for Brighton.

With the World Cup getting underway last week, the Seagulls have moved quickly to wrap up some early business in a bid to bolster their squad for a second European campaign, should they progress through the Conference League play-off round.

Deals have already been completed for AIK Stockholm winger Zadok Yohanna and Olympiacos right-back Costinha.

Alongside those arrivals, Solly March, James Milner and Adam Webster have left the club following the expiry of their contracts, while Jan Paul van Hecke completed a £52million move to Tottenham Hotspur.
