Honest Ahanor, currently with Atalanta, is the latest name linked with a potential switch to Brighton. The defender could become a key signing should the move materialise, as the club seeks to strengthen in a key area of the pitch. Brighton remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. Defensively, Brighton are sitting around the league average this season, at 1.26 goals conceded per game. Someone like Honest Ahanor could keep them steady but also raise the level when it matters most. Alongside this, Atalanta are said to be exploring Nicolas Raskin with Brighton likewise connected to James Trafford. Want more transfer rumours like this?
