Brighton & Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton admitted that he wants to sign new players this summer after his side's defeat to Watford.

Goals from Troy Deeney and Matej Vydra condemned the Seagulls to a fifth defeat in six Championship games, and the manager believes that his side need reinforcements if they are going to compete at the top next year.

He told BBC Sport: "It's very, very frustrating. But it is my responsibility to make sure we will be fighting in a different part of the table next season. To do that I will be bringing in personnel to change it."

Brighton sit 20th in the the Championship table, having been expected to be in playoff contention before the start of the season.
