    Brighton midfielder Matt O'Riley has completed a season-long loan to Ligue 1 side Marseille.

    The 24-year-old joined the Seagulls from Celtic in August 2024 and has made 25 appearances for the club, scoring three goals.

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

    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.
