What happened: Brighton have agreed a £21.5m deal to sign teenage winger Zadok Yohanna. Former Brighton midfielder Warren Aspinall said he hopes the club have found a "diamond to polish" in the young attacker. The signing comes alongside reported links involving defender Jan Paul van Hecke.

Why it matters: The move continues Brighton's well-established strategy of investing in young, high-upside talent before it reaches peak value. Securing a teenage winger at this fee signals the Seagulls' intent to keep refreshing their attacking options for the upcoming campaign.

What to watch: Watch for the deal to be formally completed, including a medical and contract terms, and for clarity on the Van Hecke situation.
