Graham Potter reveals why Brighton sanctioned Neal Maupay transfer to Everton

Brighton head coach Graham Potter has claimed the sale of Neal Maupay to Everton represents a suitable deal 'for all parties' following the exit of the French forward.

The Blues last night announced the acquisition of Maupay on a three-year deal, though he will not be eligible to face former side Bretford this weekend. Danny Welbeck has been Brighton's go-to forward so far this season, leading the line in each of their first three league fixtures, with Maupay missing out on minutes.

Brighton also signed German striker Denis Undav from Union Saint-Gilloise in January, who was loaned back to the Belgian side for the second half of last season but is now at the Amex Stadium and represented another individual offering Everton's new recruit increase competition for places.
