    Brighton are hoping to sign Japan midfielder Fuka Tsunoda before Thursday's transfer deadline in the Women's Super League.

    The 20-year-old plays as a midfielder for WE League club Urawa Reds, who she made her debut for in 2021.

    She would be the sixth permanent signing at Brighton this summer if they complete the move.

    A busy transfer window for the Albion has finally come to a close, and perhaps the most important pieces of business have been retaining the main cogs of our well-oiled machine.

    The high-profile departure of Joao Pedro was certainly difficult to take, especially given his upturn in form since joining Chelsea. However, with a bit of patience and time for our new arrivals to settle, his absence may not prove to be as obvious as feared.

    One of the biggest stories throughout our window was Manchester United's pursuit of our midfield anchor, Carlos Baleba. Fabian Hurzeler's constant reassurance to the fans was certainly refreshing, and now that the window has shut, there is a sense of relief knowing he will be with us this year.

    There were also a few concerns around Kaoru Mitoma's future, with fear that 2024-25 could have been his last with us. His dream of playing Champions League football is known by the club, yet once again he has shown professionalism and loyalty, staying committed to the club that brought him to the Premier League.

    Of course, everyone wants to see their squad strengthened further wherever possible but, overall, we can be satisfied with how this window gone. The focus on bringing signings in early to allow them to bed into the squad was clear, and although we have only seen glimpses of our new recruits, those signs have certainly been encouraging.

    Hurzeler seems happy with the options at his disposal, and the board clearly feels the squad is in the best possible shape.

    With key players retained and promising additions waiting to make their mark, I would confidently rate this transfer window a solid 8/10.
