Brighton and Hove Albion continue to fine tune their squad ahead of the Premier League opener against Manchester United at Old Trafford on August 7.
Graham Potter still has key decisions to make on several players after a largely successful pre-season.
Brighton enjoyed a training camp in Portugal and returned for a 2-1 friendly victory against Reading last Saturday.
Yesterday, a much-changed XI played well against Premier League rivals Brentford but went down 1-0 to Thomas Frank's men.
A number of new players made their first appearance at the Amex Stadium but it also gave Potter a chance to assess some fringe players before the Premier League opener.
The defensive situation remains an area of interest as Shane Duffy, Matt Clarke and Jan Paul van Hecke all hope to be involved in the matchday squads.
Here's nine Brighton and Hove Albion players who could still exit before the window closes

5. Florin Andone
Tthe striker struggled last term on loan at Cadiz. Had a run out against Brentford but very likely to move on this summer on loan or permanent - if they can find a club! Photo: Angel Martinez
6. Marc Cucrella
Wanted by Man City but it will take a heck of a lot more than the initial £30m bid to prise Albion's star man away Photo: Eddie Keogh
7. Leo Trossard
Interesting situation here as the Belgian has just 12 months left on his contract. Man United, Newcastle and West ham were said to be keen but there seems little mention of a move and Trossard will want regular football ahead of Qatar - which he is sure to get at Brighton. Said last season that he will listen other offers but Potter will hope his key man remains. Photo: BRUNO FAHY
8. Andi Zeqiri
The striker was on loan last term at FC Augsburg. Featured against Brentford but unlikely to be part of Potter's first team plans - especially with Deniz Undav arriving. Photo: Sebastian Widmann
