Brighton & Hove Albion’s director of football, David Weir, has offered insights into the club’s approach to the upcoming January transfer window, suggesting that the Seagulls will continue their shrewd and calculated transfer strategy.
Speaking in an interview, Weir emphasized the club’s focus on maintaining a balance between reinforcing the squad and adhering to their long-term development model. “We’ve always prided ourselves on identifying talent early and ensuring it fits into our philosophy,” Weir stated. “January is a unique window, and we’re looking to make moves that are both strategic and sustainable.”
Reports suggest Brighton is prioritizing strengthening in midfield and defense, with potential exits of some key players in high demand by top clubs. Rising stars like Moisés Caicedo and Kaoru Mitoma have already attracted interest from European giants, but Weir reiterated Brighton’s stance on selling only when the terms align with their valuation.
Additionally, the club is said to be scouting emerging talents in South America and Europe, continuing their tradition of uncovering gems like Alexis Mac Allister and Julio Enciso. “Our recruitment team is working tirelessly to identify the right opportunities,” Weir added.
Brighton fans can expect a mix of investment in youth and experienced additions as the club looks to cement its position in the Premier League and maintain its competitive edge in Europe. With the Seagulls currently in contention for a strong finish, the January window could play a pivotal role in shaping the second half of their season.
