Brighton in talks to sign World Cup winner in Deadline Day shock: report

Brighton and Hove Albion boss Fabian Hurzeler.

Brighton and Hove Albion have re-entered the race to sign a 35-year-old World Cup winner.

Fabian Hurzeler's side failed in their pursuit of PSV defender Olivier Boscagli and are still keen on bringing an experienced centre-back to the club. Mats Wieffer, Yankuba Minteh and Georginio Rutter are just three of the nine summer arrivals at the Amex, with nearly £200million ($263.2m) having been spent by the Seagulls.

But it appears as if Brighton are not done yet, with bolstering their defensive line remaining a continuing priority. As the hours tick down towards Friday's deadline, it appears as if Albion could be about to make a whopping tenth addition.
