Brighton & Hove Albion sold star midfielder Yves Bissouma to Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £26 million. However, the Seagulls have made their name as savvy operators in the transfer market and they will be confident that they can replace Bissouma.

Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Albion have already signed Deniz Undav from Union Saint-Gilloise, while it will be interesting to see how players like Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma and Senegalese attacker Abdallah Sima are integrated into the first-team.
