BIRMINGHAM, England : Brighton & Hove Albion are resigned to losing two of their leading players in the close season despite the club's best-ever top-flight campaign in which they finished sixth to qualify for the Europa League and their first ever European campaign.
"They deserve to change the level of team and competition, we have to be happy for them," De Zerbi said after Brighton’s final day 2-1 loss at Aston Villa on Sunday. "It is incredible for us to be in the Europa League, but we deserve it. Now we analyse the squad, we have to improve and build a stronger squad with more players."
The latter was the subject of two transfer bids from Arsenal in January that were turned down by Brighton. He asked to leave, but then signed a new contract until June 2027.
