Brighton Bombshell: Fabian Hurzeler Tells £35m Star to Find New Club After Tottenham Draw
🔵 Brighton Bombshell: Fabian Hurzeler Tells £35m Star to Find New Club After Tottenham Draw
Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler has delivered a ruthless verdict on one of his most expensive players following today’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur at the Amex.
The Seagulls twice let their lead slip in a dramatic contest, and after the final whistle, Hurzeler did not hide his frustration with the £35 million man who failed to influence the game.
🗣️ “I’m sorry to say, but he can no longer work under me at Brighton. He needs to look for a new club by January — it’s the end,” Hurzeler said bluntly in his post-match press conference.
The player, once tipped to be a central figure in Brighton’s ambitious project, struggled throughout the game. He misplaced key passes, was caught in possession in dangerous areas, and wasted a crucial chance late in the second half that could have sealed victory.
Hurzeler’s comments suggest the German tactician has run out of patience. Sources close to the club reveal that discussions about offloading the player had already been ongoing behind the scenes, but today’s performance appears to have sealed his fate.
Brighton fans are split on the decision — some argue the star deserves more time to rediscover his form, while others believe Hurzeler’s tough stance is exactly what the team needs as they push for European qualification.
With the January transfer window approaching, the £35m signing is now expected to be placed on the market, bringing an end to what has been a frustrating chapter on the South Coast.
