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 20 August 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 sit eleven more deals — £108m out, £93m in, a near-neutral net spend — with Danny Welbeck's £5m move to Chelsea the curiosity of the window. What remains is holding the line: Newcastle want Carlos Baleba, Arsenal are leading the race for Jack Hinshelwood, and Brighton's final fortnight is about saying no. The Brighton transfer news below stays current through it all.
