Brighton and Hove Albion could well look to make two or three additions this summer transfer window. The Seagulls are well-known for their succession planning and that could be put to the ultimate test this summer with central midfield pairing Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister widely expected to leave.
Albion could receive upward of £120m for the pair and how they reinvest that money will be key for head coach Roberto De Zerbi's future plans. In recent seasons, Albion have coped well with high profile exits as Joel Veltman stepped in for Ben White, Pervis Estupinan for Marc Cucurella, Caicedo for Yves Bissoum and Kaoru Mitoma has expertly filled the void vacated by Leo Trossard.
But how could Albion line-up next season as they prepare for life without their midfield pivot of Mac Allister and Caicedo..Here Sussex World takes a look at De Zerbi's possible starting XI...

What a signing he has been and has superbly replaced Marc Cucurella on the left. Will be even better next season. Photo: Warren Little
6. Billy Gilmour - M
A big season awaits. Behind Mac Allister and Caicedo and if, as expected, they depart this summer, Gilmour could well get his big chance to shine. Photo: Mike Hewitt
7. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - M
The Liverpool man has been tipped to leave Anfield on a free transfer this summer and Brighton are said to be well in the race. Still has plenty to offer and would be a cracking signing to add quality and experience, if Mac and Moises exit Photo: Andrew Powell
8. Solly March - RW
Having his best season to date and adding goals to his game. De Zerbi is a big fan and could well be a key player once more for Albion. Photo: Warren Little
