Brighton signed a Celtic midfielder who scored 19 goals last season

Brighton, now managed by 31-year-old Fabian Hürzeler, continues to execute an impressive transfer campaign.

Today, Brighton officially announced the signing of central midfielder Matt O'Riley from Celtic. The Seagulls paid €30 million for his transfer, and the 23-year-old has signed a five-year contract.

Last season, O'Riley became a key player for Celtic, scoring 19 goals and providing 18 assists in 49 matches across all competitions.

Born in London and developed in Fulham's academy, O'Riley has Danish roots and represents Denmark at the international level. He has made two appearances for the Danish national team but was unexpectedly left out of the squad for Euro 2024.

To recap, Brighton defeated Manchester United 2-1 at home in the second round of the Premier League, following a 3-0 victory over Everton in the first round.
