The Premier League: Brighton and Hove Albion have signed midfielder Brajan Gruda from German club FSV Mainz, subject to work permit and international clearance, the Premier League club said.

The 20-year-old attacking midfielder has agreed to a contract that runs until June 2028. He becomes Brighton's sixth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Ibrahim Osman, Yankuba Minteh, Mats Wieffer, Amario Cozier-Duberry and Malick Yalcouye.

The 20-year-old broke through at Mainz last season when he played 28 games in the Bundesliga and contributed four goals and three assists to help them avoid relegation. Earlier this year he was included in Germany’s training squad ahead of the 2024 Euros.
