After a string of incomings earlier this summer, Brighton’s attention has turned to exits momentarily.

The sale of Jan Paul van Hecke kickstarted a spending spree on the Sussex coast last month, with several defensive reinforcements arriving – and at least one more set to arrive in the shape of Luka Vušković.

Further outgoings are also in the pipeline, with Coventry City pushing to strike an agreement for Carl Rushworth, whilst Hoffenheim remain keen on Malick Yalcouye.

A number of Brighton’s key players also have suitors, such as Carlos Baleba, Yasin Ayari and Yankuba Minteh.
