GOOD NEWS: Brighton already include 20yr Old outstanding young talent to be frontrunner of January Transfer wishlist as Hurzeler reveal Player will make massive impact to club.
Brighton are reportedly showing significant interest in Aston Villa goalkeeper Oliwier Zych. The Seagulls, however, may face competition from Arsenal for the 20-year-old, who has impressed many and been on Brighton’s radar for some time.
According to The Telegraph, Brighton are considering making a move for Zych in upcoming transfer windows as they seek to secure a reliable backup goalkeeper. Zych has put in some standout performances for Villa’s Under-21s and has been called up to the senior Poland squad.
Brighton have performed exceptionally well in recent transfer windows, and their financial approach has been widely praised. Currently fifth in the Premier League table, the club continues to show steady progress each season.
The report suggests Zych could be a highly sought-after player this summer, with Brighton potentially making a move for him.
With less than a year left on his current contract, Brighton could sign Zych for free next summer or opt to pay a minimal fee to secure him in January. Many clubs now favor having a reliable backup goalkeeper rather than two competing for the starting spot.
Bart Verbruggen has been Brighton’s first choice in the Premier League this season, with 34-year-old Jason Steele also part of their goalkeeping setup. Zych could serve as a backup option if Brighton decide to move on from Steele.
Though Zych wouldn’t be Brighton’s first-choice keeper, he would provide solid cover when needed. Meanwhile, at Aston Villa, Australian international Joe Gauci is currently Emiliano Martinez’s backup, and Villa manager Unai Emery could consider letting Zych go if a reasonable offer is made in the next transfer window.
