Brighton are not just in the business of picking up Peruvian gems now...they are fighting with the big boys for talent to mould rather than just mine.
. We were desperate to see what they could achieve if they managed to retain the players linked with bigger and theoretically better things. But alas, we were either ignored or remained curiously off the Big Six radar.

41 points in 2020/21 became 52 in 2021/22 and and then 2022/23 brought 62 and a Europa League spot. A now-customary improvement in 2023/24 would likely see them qualify for the Champions League, and while the arrival of an inevitable gem or three from loan spells away or plucked from the streets of some backwater Peruvian village may help them make that next step, their status now allows them to shop in a higher tier. They can mould talent rather than just mine it.
The question those players will be asking themselves is whether Brighton’s foray into European competition will be a fleeting one. Dahoud clearly doesn’t believe so, and we’ve got to assume Roberto De Zerbi is having a significant impact on the minds of prospective players. Joao Pedro may not be billed as a marquee signing from Watford, but hisprovides further evidence of Brighton’s push into the higher echelons of the transfer market.
Of course, Brighton will remain a stepping stone like every club other than Real Madrid , but for better, more polished talent like Ajax’s Mohammed Kudus.Brighton are making a push for the 22-year-old
