Brighton & Hove Albion are closing in on another addition to their squad, with Abdoulaye Dieng reportedly scheduled to undergo his medical and complete the final stages of his contract signing ahead of a move to the Amex Stadium. However, the Seagulls’ summer business is far from over.
According to this fictional scenario, BBC Sport reports that Brighton are continuing to work behind the scenes on further reinforcements, with highly rated Italian goalkeeper Tommaso Martinelli identified as one of the club’s priority targets.
The 20-year-old goalkeeper has earned a reputation as one of Italy’s brightest young talents thanks to his excellent reflexes, commanding presence in the penalty area and composure on the ball. Brighton’s recruitment team believe Martinelli has the potential to develop into a Premier League-calibre goalkeeper in the years ahead. Martinelli is currently under contract with Fiorentina and has gained valuable senior experience through loan spells.
Club officials are believed to have opened preliminary discussions with the player’s representatives as they assess the possibility of a future move. While no agreement has been reached, Brighton remain keen to strengthen their goalkeeping department with another promising young player.
Head coach Fabian Hürzeler is said to support the club’s long-term recruitment strategy, which focuses on signing talented young players capable of developing into first-team regulars.
Supporters have welcomed the latest speculation, with many encouraged by Brighton’s ambition to continue strengthening the squad even after Dieng’s expected arrival. Should both deals eventually be completed, the Seagulls would once again underline their commitment to building for both the present and the future.
For now, the immediate focus remains on finalising Dieng’s transfer, but Brighton’s recruitment drive appears far from finished, with Tommaso Martinelli firmly on the club’s radar.
