The latest Brighton transfer news: every confirmed deal in the 2026/27 window, who they’re linked with, and the odds on what happens next. Updated 7 September 2026.
Only Brighton would sell their best centre-back to Tottenham for £51m and spend £46m of it on a 19-year-old centre-back from the same club. The Jan Paul van Hecke and Luka Vušković trades are this window’s clearest expression of the model: sell the finished article, buy the next one, bank the difference in age.
Around that swap sat a dozen more deals — £161m out, £154m in — and the biggest name went last: Carlos Baleba to Manchester United for £65m, with Chema Andrés and Femi Azeez signed on deadline day to keep the pipeline stocked. The Brighton transfer news below is the full record.
