Yves Bissouma has left the club to join Tottenham for £26m and Ostigard moved to Napoli for just under £5m. Tudor Baluta has left on a free transfer and a number of players have left the club following loan spells.
Brighton Predicted Lineup: Sanchez, Veltman, Dunk, Duffy, Lamptey, Mwepu, Alzate, Cucurella, Mac Allister, Trossard & Maupay
