    Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler says the owner is keeping him "busy" during the off-season as they continue their work in the transfer market.

    The Seagulls have already been active in the summer window, having signed three teenagers and 21-year-old defender Diego Coppola.

    Hurzeler and the ownership will be looking to build on the German's first season in charge as they look to secure European football again having narrowly missed out in 2024-25 when they finished eighth in the Premier League.

    With interest in a number of their key players, the club's work will not only focus on who they can bring in but who they can keep hold of and who may head out the door.

    "The owner keeps me busy, in a good way," Hurzeler told BBC Radio Sussex during a charity walk for the club's foundation.

    "I'm really happy to work. It is a lot of work to do - the preparation for the season and pre-season is very important.

    "You need the right people, the right squad, so you need to do a lot of research, a lot of calls.

    "I'm really happy we are working in detail, working to get the right people. The players we have signed already have great characters and great potential, and I'm very, very happy they have signed with us. I'm really looking forward to working with them."
