Midfield ace to leave Brighton and 8 other players to depart as things stand

Brighton are preparing for a busy summer of transfer activity ahead of their first season playing Europa League football.

Albion’s sixth-place finish in the Premier League means the club will compete in Europe for the first time in their 123-year history next term.

The Seagulls have begun to bolster their squad for the challenges of next season, which will see the Sussex side compete in four competitions and regularly play three games a week up until Christmas.

Joao Pedro has been signed from Watford for a club record fee of £30m, whilst Liverpool’s James Milner and Borussia Dortmund’s Mahmoud Dahoud are set to join on a free transfer.

In total, Albion are currently set to lose nine players in the upcoming transfer window. Here is a look at all the potential outgoings from the club this summer.
