The Seagulls are set to pull off a sensational move in the transfer market as they are closing in on signing Ansu Fati from Barcelona on loan, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Brighton had earlier sent an official proposal to the Catalan Giants which they now have accepted. Fati will join the Premier League club on a loan deal which is valid until June 2024.
Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi is thought to have played a significant part in persuading the young player to join the Premier League this season. He personally communicated with the player to outline the project. Previously, there were reports of Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in securing the Spanish international on loan.
After a setback against West Ham in their last match, Brighton will next face Newcastle United on Saturday in the Premier League
