NEWS;Brighton has officially confirmed the departure of an £8m midfield ace

Poland international midfielder Kacper Kozlowski has left Brighton and joined Turkish Superlig side Gaziantep FK in a permanent move.

The 20-year-old joined Albion in January 2022 for around £8m from Pogon Szczecin and has made six senior appearances for his country.

Kozlowski has spent the last two seasons on loan with Vitesse Arnhem in The Netherlands but never made an appearance for the Albion first team.

He had two remaining on his Brighton deal but has decided to make a permanent switch to Gaziantep, who finished 11th in the Super Lig last season.

Technical director David Weir said, “We wish Kacper all the best for the future.”

So far Ibrahim Osman has joined from FC Nordsjaelland, Yankuba Minteh signed from Newcastle United, Mats Wieffer completed his switch from Feyenoord, Amario Cozier-Durberry arrived after leaving Arsenal and Malick Yalcouye landed from IFK Goteborg.

Probable squad: Goalkeepers: Jason Steele, Carl Rushworth, Hugo Fisher Killian Cahill.

Defenders: Tariq Lamptey, Odel Offiah, Igor, Adam Webster, Jan Paul Van Hecke, Joel Veltman, Valentin Barco, Imari Samuels.
