Brighton transfer news: Albion's forgotten £6m striker makes low key departure

The 29-year-old joined in 2018 for around £6m from Deportivo La Coruña and made 30 appearances, scoring six goals.

The Romania international’s most notable Albion moment came in a 3-1 win against Crystal Palace, running the length of the pitch before slotting home.

He also netted vital goals in back-to-back wins against Huddersfield, six points that would ultimately go a long way to maintaining Albion’s Premier League status during the 2018/19 season.

Andone also had injury-hit loan spells with Galatasaray and Cádiz.

Head coach Graham Potter said, “Florin’s been a good professional, and following some tough injuries, he’s worked really hard to get back to his best.

“Now he wants to play regularly, but we can’t give him that opportunity. With this in mind we’ve reached an agreement that suits all parties.

“On behalf of everyone at the club I would like to thank him for his efforts and wish him all the best for the future.”
