Albion returned to Premier League action in style yesterday thanks to 3-1 win at Southampton and face leaders Arsenal at the Amex Stadium on December 31. The January transfer window then swings open and head coach Roberto De Zerbi will hope to bolster his squad as his seventh placed team look to maintain their push for Europe.
The club will also aim to keep hold of their key players, including World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister, Ecuador international Moises Caicedo and Belgian attacker Leo Trossard. All have impressed in the Premier League and all are currently being tracked by the giants of world football. Brighton are known as a selling club – as proven recently with the big money exits of Ben White, Yves Bissouma and Marc Cucurella – but they are also very shrewd operators in the transfer market and will only sell at the time and when they can maximise transfer value.
Sussex World takes a look at nine Brighton players who could be on their way this transfer window...
9. Haydon Roberts
The 20-year-old is highly regarded at Brighton and is currently on loan in League One with Derby. A talented defender but will struggle to break into the Albion first team anytime soon. Contract expires June 2023 and January could be the time both parties seek a permanent move so Roberts' development can continue Photo: Shaun Botterill
