Brighton’s Yasin Ayari hits double for Sweden
Yasin Ayari nears the final year of his Brighton deal amid little progress on talks. After a Sweden World Cup brace and Milner’s retirement, his role could grow, but interest may rise if no new contract emerges.
Brighton’s Yasin Ayari nets two long-range goals as Sweden thrash Tunisia 5-1. Isak and Gyökeres also score, Svanberg adds late after VAR. Rekik replies for Tunisia. Sweden go top of Group F.
Brighton sign Zadok Yohanna for £26m. Out: Jeremy Sarmiento £3m, Webster and Veltman released, March released, Milner retired. Net spend £23m. Rumours include Van Hecke, Baleba, Verbruggen exits.
Brighton have a €35m bid for Spurs’ Luka Vuskovic rejected but are very likely to return. The 19-year-old has a verbal agreement with Albion, with Hurzeler keen to add the 6ft 4in centre-back alongside Van Hecke.
Portsmouth will not move for Brighton free agent Adam Webster. The 31-year-old leaves after 158 Albion games and a knee injury, continuing rehab with the club while he seeks his next team.
