It would take a fair few tickets for the Albion to recuperate their money back from record-signing Georginio Rutter!

SeatPick revealed that Brighton would need to sell out 22 home games at the Amex Stadium (or 714,286 tickets) to cover Georginio Rutter's £40 million transfer fee.

Rutter joined the Albion in August from Leeds and though hasn't had much pitch time yet, he scored six goals for his former club last season. The French forward also got 15 assists in the Championship in the 23/24 season.

Brighton fans will be hoping Rutter can find the same form in the Premier League this season, as the Seagulls look to challenge for a European spot.

So far, Albion sit in sixth position in the Premier League after four games played. The most recent fixture saw them draw at home to Ipswich.
