    Head coach Fabian Hurzeler said: "Matt has the opportunity to challenge himself at the highest level in France and in the Champions League.

    "We have a lot of competition in the midfield positions, and while we see Matt's long-term future here with us, this gives him the potential of more game time."

    West Ham have completed the signing of Brazilian defender Igor Julio on a season-long loan from Brighton.

    "I am really happy to be here at West Ham United," he said. "It is a big club, a historic club, with fantastic support and a special identity.

    "I saw this in Prague during the Europa Conference League final two years ago, and I feel very proud to now be representing the colours."

    "I'm really pleased to have signed Igor and look forward to bringing him into our group," added Hammers boss Graham Potter.

    "He is an experienced defender with a good pedigree, who knows the Premier League well and has impressed during his time with Brighton."

    Brighton have confirmed winger Jeremy Sarmiento has joined Serie A side Cremonese on loan for the season.

    The 23-year-old joined Brighton's academy from Benfica in January 2021 and has shown glimpses of his talent in the Premier League. However, the winger has struggled for consistent minutes in the first team.

    Sarmiento was on loan at West Bromwich Albion and Ipswich Town during the 2023-24 season and, in the subsequent campaign, he was on loan at Burnley in the Championship.

    Sarmiento's current deal expires in 2027.

    Technical director David Weir said: "This gives Jeremy a great opportunity to play regularly. We wish him well in Italy for the season ahead and will be watching his progress with interest."

    BBC Sport also understands Brighton are not expecting any incomings before the 19:00 BST deadline.

  19. 'Straight up weird' - fans confused by Buonanotte's Chelsea loan

    We asked for your views on Facundo Buonanotte's loan move to Chelsea and Julio Enciso's likely move to Stamford Bridge next summer.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Joe: Buonanotte going on loan to Chelsea is just straight up weird. If he's not good enough for us, how is it he's good enough for them. It worries me slightly because I think Brighton fans really overestimate our attacking threat and I think he could very useful to us, especially given neither other of our Greek strikers have even played in the Premier League yet. Then with Enciso going to France to then go to Chelsea? The whole thing is really strange. An Enciso that is fit and ready to play is a huge threat, so to let him go for under £15m, I am not quite sure what's going on. But of course, I will always trust Tony Bloom.

    Tim: Something doesn't feel right about this. Why would we help a club that we've already helped countless times to become stronger? They have a young talented squad, much of it thanks to Albion, and this is a club that we could be battling against for every top-half point. Enough is enough.

    Noddy: Chelsea might as well move into the Amex. As soon as Brighton find a decent player, they come along with their begging bowl. We need to be stronger in transfer windows and say no to a club that we could easily be competing with.

    Nicholas: I believe this is a massive mistake. If Buonanotte is good enough to be getting game time at Chelsea and Champions League football, why on earth is he not in our starting XI? I feel we should have kept him and used him.

    It now looks like Brighton centre-back Igor Julio is currently more likely to join West Ham on loan rather than Crystal Palace.

    He had been subject of interest from the Eagles as they prepare for the departure of Marc Guehi. It is unclear if this would have any impact on that proposed deal.

    The Eagles want two centre-backs if they let Guehi go.

  22. Buonanotte joins Chelsea on loan

    Facundo Buonnonate is the latest forward to depart Brighton, sealing a season-long loan to Chelsea.

    The 20-year-old Argentina international has played 50 times in all competitions for the Seagulls since arriving from Rosario Central in January 2023, scoring five goals.

    He spent the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Leicester, scoring six goals in 35 matches for the Foxes.

    Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler said: "This is a great opportunity for Facundo to play regular Premier League and Champions League football this season and further his development.

    "Facundo has great potential and we see his long-term future with us here, and we will be monitoring his progress with Chelsea this season."
