Albion are sixth in the Premier League standings and their 2-0 victory against Bournemouth on Tuesday night leaves them four points behind fourth placed Tottenham with two games in hand on the north London club.
Roberto De Zerbi’s men travel to Spurs this Saturday where three points would really place them in the mix for a Champions League spot and certainly boost their chances of Europa League football next term.
Albion have been praised from all angles this season as their impressive recruitment model allows them to compete at the sharp end of the Premier League. Despite selling the likes of Ben White, Dan Burn, Marc Cucurella, Yves Bissouma and Leo Trossard, Albion have maintained their upward trajectory. Alexis Mac Allister, Moises Caicedo, Kaoru Mitoma and Evan Ferguson have all impressed alongside the established performers of Lewis Dunk, Joel Veltman, Pascal Gross and Solly March. It’s proved an ideal combination and has delivered their best ever chance of European qualification – but it does however create a problem as the big clubs continue to circle their top talent.
So who will stay and go this summer transfer window?… Sussex World takes a look
17. Tariq Lamptey - maybe
The former Chelsea man has been behind Veltman this season and is currently struggling with a knee issue. Has not played as many minutes as he would have liked and was linked with a move away in the previous window. Remains a very promising player and many Brighton fans would love to see him feature more next season. Photo: Steve Bardens
18. Danny Welbeck - stay
The experienced frontrunner signed a deal for next season. Remains a key figure and the emergence of Ferguson will ease his workload and hopefully his injury issues. Photo: Mike Hewitt
19. Billy Gilmour - maybe
Question marks here. The form of Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo has kept him on the bench and he hasn't been able to kick-star his career after leaving Chelsea. May look elsewhere for regular football but opportunities could open up if Mac and Moises leave this summer. One to keep an eye on. Photo: Mike Hewitt
20. Deniz Undav - maybe
With Ferguson and Welbeck, he's unlikely to be a regular next season. Much depends if he wants to play from the bench and cup games or play regular football elsewhere. Looks very capable of scoring goals at Premier League level. Photo: GLYN KIRK
