Brighton & Hove Albion January transfers and net spend: Every confirmed signing and sale for Fabian Hurzeler's side in 2026 winter window

Brighton & Hove Albion have struggled to make a push for European football in 2025-26 so far, and their quiet January transfer window will do little to ease fans' concerns as the club sit in the bottom half of the Premier League.

Fabian Hurzeler's side made just one signing this winter, bringing Pascal Gross back to the American Express stadium after the midfielder spent 18 months with Borussia Dortmund, though Matt O'Riley and Igor Julio returned from loans.

In the opposite direction, the Seagulls sanctioned nine loan exits while parting ways with two fringe players on permanent deals to lower-division teams, recouping some of the undisclosed fee they paid for Gross.

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.
