Brighton and Hove Albion have reportedly completed the signing of Ansu Fati from Barcelona on a season loan deal.
The Seagulls against all odds hijacked the deal from Chelsea and Tottenham for the youngster whose buy-out clause was placed at £1 billion by Barcelona. Transfer news expert, Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Ansu Fati is expected to complete his medical with the Premier League club before the 2023 transfer window shuts down.
The Spaniard has made 112 appearances for Barcelona, he has scored 29 goals with 10 assists across all competitions since he broke into the Catalonia’s first team.
The 20-year-old is expected to complete his deal to the south coast, with Brighton swooping in and hijacking the deal. The manager of Brighton, Roberto De Zerbi was a key part of convincing Fati to join his team instead of Tottenham.
Tottenham will have to find another player to fill in that void before the transfer window closes on Friday, September 1, 2023.
