Brighton transfer news – Robert Sanchez is set to leave in the summer
According to TEAMtalk, Robert Sanchez is set to leave in the summer transfer window. The Spanish goalkeeper made his debut in November 2020, replacing Matt Ryan and making 27 appearances that season, 10 of them being clean sheets. He was the first choice of the De Zerbi’s squad for almost six months, but Jason Steele has taken his spot in these last games – especially talking about the Premier League. Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham have already been linked with the player, but there is no news that any of the trio will bid for him this transfer window.
Brighton transfer news – Weston McKennie is a target for the next window
Calciomercato reports that Weston McKennie is a target for Roberto De Zerbi’s team next season. The Juventus midfielder is on loan at Leeds United until the end of the season, with the option of buying for €33 million. The Italian’s price tag for the player had dropped to €25million, but the club still thinks is a lot of money for the player. According to TalkSPORT journalist Alex Crook, the chances are slim.

Brighton transfer news – Brentford is ready to make a move for Viktor Gyokeres
As Ivan Toney is banned for eight months, Brentford is looking for a replacement and it looks like Viktor Gyokeres, a former Brighton player now at Coventry, could be the perfect match. This sale could be great for the Seagulls, as the sell-on clause was inserted in the deal when Viktor joined the Championship team for £1M in the summer of 2021. Coventry is demanding at least £25M for their star striker and could be even more if they win the play-off final against Luton.
