Brighton's summer spending

Brighton & Hove Albion has made a significant investment in its squad this summer, spending nearly £200 million ($263.2 million) on nine new signings, including the latest addition of Turkish left-back Ferdi Kadioglu from Fenerbahce for a reported £25 million ($33 million). This marks one of the highest spending sprees in European football, second only to Chelsea, as Brighton aims to establish itself as a top-10 Premier League club. The club's spending is funded by strategic player trading, having generated substantial profits from previous sales, including the record transfer of Moises Caicedo to Chelsea. Brighton's manager, Fabian Hurzeler, expressed confidence in Kadioglu's potential to adapt to the Premier League, highlighting his versatility and strong character. With new arrivals such as Matt O’Riley and Yankuba Minteh, Brighton's ambition is clear, and Hurzeler appreciates the club's backing in his first season. The team has started the season strongly, securing victories in their initial matches under Hurzeler's leadership.
