Deniz Undav excelled for Brighton & Hove Albion at the end of last season with a glut of goals that secured Europa League football for the Seagulls – and having endured a superb campaign away from the Amex Stadium at Bundesliga outfit Stuttgart in the current campaign.

the German could find his way back to the south coast, GIVEMESPORT sources have exclusively revealed.

The Seagulls signed Undav for £6m from sister club Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium back in January 2022 and, having loaned him back to the Benelux outfit until the start of last campaign, he was ready for first-team football on the south coast upon his return – yet minutes were lacking. He only made his first Premier League start for the club against Bournemouth back in February 2023, due to his teammates’ strong form, and although it took Undav until his third start in April to record a first goal under Roberto De Zerbi, he embarked on a run of five goals in eight games to finish the season strongly for the Seagulls.

Five goals in six starts and 617 total minutes of Premier League football was a superb tally for a newcomer; though with Joao Pedro and Evan Ferguson ahead of him in the pecking order, he was shipped out on loan to Stuttgart for the season. It’s gone exactly as planned with 18 goals and 10 assists in 28 Bundesliga games having piqued interest at his parent club – and GIVEMESPORT sources have exclusively revealed that the club are looking at the possibility of bringing him back into the fold.

Undav’s record of either a goal or assist per game in the Bundesliga means that there is a chance he will return to Brighton for a second attempt at the Premier League, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Stuttgart have a buy option for Undav and with the club looking likely to reach the Champions League, there could have been scope to keep him should they reach Europe’s elite competition. However, their option is not guaranteed and with Brighton currently on 19 less goals than last season with just three Premier League games to play, their frontline could do with more work going into next season, considering they won’t have European football to contend with.
