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...
9. Facundo Buonanotte - M
Brighton are very excited by this young talent from Argentina. The playmaker is adapting to life in Brighton and will be all the better for a full pre-season under De Zerbi. Photo: Steve Bardens
10. Kaoru Mitoma - LW
Filled the void left from Trossard. Skilful, direct and an eye for goal. A great find for Brighton. The Japan international had a few links to Arsenal this summer but nothing concrete and fully expected to continue his development next season at Albion. Photo: Warren Little
11. Evan Ferguson - A
The striker has impressed in the PL during his breakthrough season. Looks a fine prospect and this week was linked to Tottenham and Chelsea. Can be the striker Brighton have lacked since the days of prime Murray. Photo: Warren Little
