Brighton & Hove Albion spent £194million in the transfer window, with an average of £21.5million per signing. The Seagulls brought in nine new players, including Yankuba Minteh and Ferdi Kadioglu. Minteh, a 19-year-old Gambian winger, has huge potential, while Kadioglu was introduced to the Amex crowd before the Carabao Cup win against Crawley.
Brajan Gruda, a 20-year-old attacking midfielder signed from Mainz for £25million, could be a big change if Fabian Hurzeler can coax his flair and dribbling ability into the pattern of play.
Pascal Gross's departure to Borussia Dortmund will be felt, as he was the club's record Premier League goalscorer and assist provider. Gross made 75 goal contributions across 261 league appearances.
It is hard to locate a gaping hole, with hot competition for every position between two players and, in some instances, more than two. As of the end of the 2025-2026 season, Brighton & Hove Albion sit 8th in the Premier League, with 53 points from 38 games, and a recent form of LLWLW.
