Brighton are known for their ability to sign and develop young talent.
The likes of Jan Paul van Hecke, Jack Hinshelwood and Yasin Ayari are all regulars in the first team and have progressed either through the youth ranks or loan moves.
Brighton have also plucked talents such as Alexis Mac Allister, Moises Caicedo and Leo Trossard for modest fees and sold them on for vast profits.
