Tony Bloom says Brighton have a ‘real chance’ of winning a trophy as Seagulls target success on four fronts

The Seagulls invested heavily over the summer, bolstering their ranks with a view to heading into the campaign with a large squad with plenty of depth.

So far, that strategy has paid dividends.

Brighton have progressed into the league phase of the Conference League, booked their spot in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with a 3-2 win over Manchester United and impressed in the Premier League with wins over Aston Villa and Arsenal.
