Brighton were reportedly "warned off" signing Eiran Cashin from Derby County last January as doubts continue over Fabian Hürzeler’s long-term future.
According to the Telegraph, a run of one win in 13 Premier League games has left Hürzeler under pressure from fans amid fears they could be dragged into a relegation battle.
Hürzeler’s position is not under immediate danger with the club due to face Liverpool in the FA Cup this weekend and he is claimed to still have the support from the club's hierarchy.
While Brighton have struggled, some have suggested that Hürzeler has not been helped by some poor decisions in terms of player recruitment with the club led by data when it comes to signings.
One player that has come under scrutiny is Cashin who cost the Premier League club £9m when they signed him from Derby last January.
He has made just two substitute appearances for the club and the Telegraph report: "During the summer 2024 and winter 2025 windows, Brighton, according to Transfermarkt, spent £245m on players who have failed to make a significant impact.
"It is believed the club were warned off Eiran Cashin, but signed him on the back of strong data reports in any case.
"Cashin cost Brighton almost £10m and has since been loaned to Birmingham City and Blackburn Rovers in the Championship, having made just two substitute appearances for the South Coast side.
"Over the course of the past two transfer windows, Brighton spent just over £70m. They paid £30m last summer for 18-year-old striker Charalampos Kostoulas, who is rated as a top prospect. But he was not ready to replace Joao Pedro and has scored only twice this season, as Brighton have continued to rely on 35-year-old Danny Welbeck for goals."
Cashin is currently on loan at Blackburn where he has been a key performer in recent games and scored recently in a 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday.
