Tommy Watson is officially a Brighton player after agreeing to join the Seagulls towards the end of last season.
The winger joins on a deal that runs until June 2029 from Sunderland. He arrives following his Championship playoff heroics last weekend, as he scored a 95th minute winner for the Black Cats in their 2-1 victory over Sheffield United.
The 19-year-old made 24 appearances in all competitions for Sunderland, scoring three goals.
Albion confirmed in April they had reached a £10m agreement with the Black Cats for Tommy, with technical director David Weir saying at the time, “Tommy is an exciting young talent who we have been tracking for a significant period of time. 
“He’s had an excellent breakthrough season with Sunderland, and we are looking forward to him joining us in the summer.”
Watson will be on international duty with England Under-19s in the coming weeks, as they take part in the UEFA Under-19s EUROs. England face Norway, Germany and the Netherlands in Group B.
