Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi has conceded star players are likely to be sold this summer despite his side enjoying an outstanding season.
Continuing to punch above their weight, the Seagulls are on course to secure European football for the first time in their history after beating Arsenal 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon. One point clear of seventh-placed Tottenham Hotspur with two games in hand, Brighton look set for Europa League football and could even overtake Liverpool before the campaign is over.
Adapting to the mid-season departure of manager Graham Potter in impressive fashion, Brighton have become accustomed to their assets being poached by others having cashed in on players such as Ben White, Marc Cucurella, Leandro Trossard and Yves Bissouma in recent times.
