All the latest news from brighton and Hove Albion on transfer deadline day
Brighton and Hove Albion have some key decisions to make in the final hours of the winter transfer window.
The Seagulls, who have slipped to 13th in the table after a poor recent run of results, have so far brought in Pascal Gross as he re-joined the club earlier in the month.
The German has made an instant impact to the first team and scored for Albion during last Saturday's 1-1 draw with Everton.
But will anyone else arrive and and what other bits of business do the Seagulls need to tie up in the closing stages.
Here's five to keep an eye on...
Tommy Watson
Tommy Watson, 19, has joined promotion-chasing Millwall on loan until the end of the season. Head coach Fabian Hurzeler said, “Tommy’s settled in well, but has had a frustrating time with injuries, but he’s now fit and keen to play, and this gives him the opportunity. He is an exciting young player, and he now has the chance to help Millwall with their Premier League promotion push.
“The move will really benefit his development. It’ll give him significant game time and allow him to build on an outstanding breakthrough season with Sunderland last season, where he was integral in their promotion. We look forward to welcoming him back in the summer.”
Matt O'Riley
Brighton's odd relationship with O'Riley continues. The Denamrk international joined the Seagulls from Celtic for around £25m in 2024 but has struggled to establish himself under Hurzeler.
He spent the first half of this season on loan at Marseille and is now likely to return to the Seagulls after the French club were knocked out of Europe. O'Riley has plenty of talent but quite where he can fit onto the Brighton for the second half of the season - particularly with the return of Grosss - is a headscratcher.
Yasin Ayari
The Sweden international has been a key man for Fabian Hurzeler but remains of interest to Nottingham Forest. Sean Dyche's men bid £20m for Ayari earlier this window and keep an eye on this one to see if they return with a higher offer.
Brighton need to make a decision here as he's currently contracted until June 2027. Will the Seagulls cash in or offer him an improved deal this summer. I can't see Albion selling this window.
