Brighton's £4m signing targets breakthrough, Arsenal pair could join Serie A side in £25m double deal

Brighton & Hove Albion will make their long awaited return to action this weekend, when they take on Spurs in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

The Seagulls went into the winter break in fine form, without losing a game in seven matches, and will be hopeful of continuing their positive momentum with a big result over Antonio Conte's side.

The last time the two sides faced each other, over a year ago, Brighton defeated Spurs 1-0 thanks to Leandro Trossard's first-half goal.

Meanwhile, youngster Odel Offiah put pen to paper on a new deal earlier in the week, which will see him stay with the club until at least 2024.

Discussing his decision, the 19-year-old said: “I am delighted to sign the new contract, it’s a good feeling to be recognised for the work that I’ve put in since I joined.

“It’s a great club to be at and there’s a real pathway for young players to make their breakthrough.

“I’ve tried to build on everything I have done so far, I made my debut and then my first start this season, so I am really happy with the opportunities I have had.

“I know I need to keep working hard to get another opportunity and being given the chance to train with the first team means that I get to show the first team staff what I am about. I want to keep progressing.”
