Brighton Have Found Their New Future 100 Million Pound Midfielder
Brighton might have done it again. First it was Caicedo, then Baleba, and now a new midfielder has come in. On deadline day, they look to have completed the signing of 21-year-old midfielder Chema Andrés.
The Stuttgart talent had a breakthrough season last year after joining from Real Madrid. He played 25 matches, starting 14 of them.

He is defensively strong, having made 118 defensive contributions last season. He looks set to be the next player Brighton will look to develop. Standing at 6'2", he has the physical ability to play in the Premier League, while Brighton will look to develop the rest of his game.
He will join Brighton for £20 million with a sell-on clause. This could easily be the next player Brighton sell for £100 million in a few years' time.
