Malick Yalcouyé included in Brighton’s Conference League squad

Initially omitted from the squad selected for the competition, the Ivorian international has now been included.

Brighton have decided to amend their squad list for this season’s UEFA Conference League. This change allows Malick Yalcouyé to take part in the European competition with the Seagulls.

The 20-year-old midfielder continues to make his mark within the Brighton squad, where his league performances have not gone unnoticed. Having scored two goals in six appearances since his Premier League debut, Malick Yalcouyé has put up encouraging statistics.

His early performances in the English top flight thus seem to have paved the way for this new opportunity on the European stage. Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler justified this change to the squad as a reward for the Ivorian. “He clearly deserves his place in the squad.”
