Signings and sales - your transfer window priorities
We asked for you to tell us what Brighton need to do in the summer transfer are some of your comments:Leon: Keeping players should be our goal this transfer window. We've built a fantastic squad with lots of depth and potential. We need to break the mentality of being a feeder club to ever see that potential Sadly, Danny Welbeck has more career behind him than in front so we desperately need a proven striker. The same could be said about Lewis Dunk so a replacement there would be A lot depends on whether we lose anyone, but I think we need a striker and a right-back. I'd like us to sign Bryan Mbeumo and Kyle Walker-Peters. That should do the We had a huge spending spree last summer so I can't see a lot of incoming faces. If Tariq Lamptey is going to go this summer, we need a new right-back. Joel Veltman is in his twilight years (albeit still outstanding) and Mats Wieffer is a stop-gap rather than long term. We might need a striker if Joao Pedro goes, but I would love nothing more than for Evan Ferguson to come back and find his form again - he is a special I would say Brighton need to get Pascal Gross back in the team. He was making assists for fun. If we could find a like-for-like replacement then I'd be very happy. Would be interesting to see if Ferguson comes back and gets his head down. He has the ability but does he have the mentality?Ian: Whatever it takes, we need to keep hold of Kaoru Mitoma.

'Enterprising and easy on the eye'
Here's my quick assessment of Brighton's Premier League season - and a return to my August prediction: 12thEnded the season: 8thA solid season with plenty of promise under 32-year-old head coach Fabian Hurzeler, with hopes of Europe maintained until the final day, when they won 4-1 at Tottenham but ultimately missed continue to be enterprising and easy on the eye with their intense style, and this campaign was another example of how far this well-run club has is usually transfer activity at Amex Stadium, and Brighton will once again have other clubs eyeing outstanding attacking talent such as Joao Pedro and Kaoru Mitoma.

Arsenal join transfer race for Premier League star after Florian Wirtz blow
Arsenal are looking to bolster their frontline this summer with Brighton star Kaoru Mitoma on their radar but Bayern Munich are also keen tabs on the Japan star Arsenal are weighing up a move for Brighton 's Kaoru Mitoma as they look to bolster their forward line, but Bayern Munich are also ready to join the race for the Japanese ace. Mitoma has gone from strength to strength at the Amex with Europe's finest now circling. The Gunners want to add to their frontline with a No 9 a summer priority, but they're also looking to bring in quality on the wings. Mitoma has been identified as a potential target with new sporting director Andrea Berta currently compiling a shortlist of targets. Arsenal finished second for the third straight year and are ready to invest again in an effort to eventually win England's top flight. Rodrygo is considered their dream signing but the main issue with the Real Madrid man is his wage demands, reports Sky Germany. The Brazilian is reportedly unhappy at Los Blancos and is open to moving elsewhere. He's been integral at Real for several years, but won't come cheap as Arsenal consider who else they can pursue. Bayern themselves are considering moving for Brighton's winger. They had been in the hunt for Florian Wirtz, who is poised to leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer. It was the Bavarians and Liverpool in a two-horse race for the German, but the player is thought to favour a move to Anfield. Bayern president Herbert Hainer has relayed a conversation he had with another club chief and said at a fan festival: 'Max Eberl [Bayern's director of sport] informed me that Florian Wirtz is probably leaning towards Liverpool. I can't say how things will transpire with Leverkusen.' Wirtz is valued at more than £100million by his current club, which would need Liverpool to shatter their transfer record. It remains to be seen where he ends up but Bayern have begun making contingency plans with Mitoma now on their radar. Brighton have proved to be shrewd operators in the transfer market. They've unlocked numerous gems and Mitoma has made himself a leading light on the south coast. This year Mitoma has scored 11 times, including a stunning strike against Chelsea. The Seagulls have shown that they will sell their top talents, but they will demand huge fees before doing so. The likes of Moises Caicedo have been sold on for over £100million. Brighton chief Paul Barber admitted previously that Brighton will 'likely' sell their top talents at some stage. Should they choose to let Mitoma leave then they will make a massive profit on the £3m they paid to sign him from Kawasaki Frontale back in 2021.
