'No' - Fabian Hurzeler says who will leave Brighton this January

All the latest transfer news from Brighton and Hove Albion

Brighton added Pascal Gross at the start of the January transfer window but that does not mean anyone will leave.

Gross, 34, returned to the club from Borussia Dortmund for around £1m on contract until June 2027. The German was quickly into the action as he featured as a second half substitute during last Saturday’s 2-0 win against Burnley.

Albion head coach Fabian Hurzeler, speaking in his pre-Manchester City press conference, said he plans to use Gross mainly as a centre midfielder as Brighton look for greater ruthlessness in the final third.

The Seagulls are quite well stacked in the centre of the park with Yasin Ayari, Jack Hinshelwood, Diego Gomez, Carlos Baleba, James Milner and part-time right back Mats Wieffer all competing for minutes. The Seagulls also have Andy Moran available once more following his loan stint with Los Angeles FC.

“At the moment, no,” said Hurzeler when asked if Gross’ arrival means someone else’s exit. “At the moment, like I always say, we're happy with the squad we have.

“Of course, we always try to analyse the transfer market. We always try to analyse the individual situation from the players.

“But overall, at the moment, I'm quite happy.”

End of window is key for Hurzeler

Hurzeler said it also makes sense to see what happens towards the later stages of the window.

“Of course, in the window, a lot of things can happen, especially more towards the end, a lot of things can happen.

“Therefore, we have to be patient, we have to analyse the situation. We have to get an understanding.

“Do we need a player, Do we need to replace an injured player, how bad are the injuries, which player is coming back and then we have to make decisions.”
