Brighton & Hove Albion player transfers

Overview

Brighton & Hove Albion has continued its summer transfer activity by strengthening its attacking options for the 2026/27 season.

Following the earlier signing of 18-year-old Valentin Joseph, the club has added two significant players to its squad. The club completed the signing of 19-year-old winger Zadok Yohanna from Swedish club AIK for £21.5 million, a move noted as the most expensive sale in the history of the Swedish club.

Additionally, the club finalized a season-long loan for Canadian international striker Promise David from Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. The deal includes a mandatory purchase obligation of approximately €26 million (£22 million) if specific criteria are met. David, who scored 15 goals last season, arrives with a strong reputation following his role in Union Saint-Gilloise’s Belgian league title win and his performance at the World Cup.

Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler expressed confidence in the new arrivals, describing David as a natural goalscorer with a “great and very positive character” and suggesting he could potentially feature in the upcoming Premier League match against Aston Villa.
