Despite the summer arrivals of Charalampos Kostoulas and Maxim De Cuyper, Brighton & Hove Albion have struggled to find their rhythm under Fabian Hurzeler, currently languishing in the bottom half of the table as they grapple with the high-profile departure of star forward Joao Pedro to Chelsea.
The South Coast side are well adrift of the European places they so narrowly missed out on last term, with a series of defensive lapses and injury troubles dampening the optimism that followed their summer activity.
While Hurzeler's squad remain one of the exciting young projects in the division, the pressure is mounting to see a return on Tony Bloom’s massive financial backing, leading to speculation that the club could be forced to recruit a successor to Carlos Baleba or bolster their attacking options this winter.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Brighton's confirmed ins and outs during the 2026 January transfer window, as well as looking at their net spend and latest transfer rumours.
