There has unarguably been something charming and riveting about how Chris Hughton and managed to bring the best of what he has at his disposal at the Falmer Stadium. Brighton and Hove Albion did succumb in the concluding stage in the English second tier last time around as they failed to earn a promotion to the Premier League. However, they didn’t lose any tinge of hope and so far this season, the Seagulls have been a side on a whole new level and have earned a direct promotion to the top flight.
Very soon, Hughton will be finding himself in the sea of sharks in the Premier League as the animosity which the league offers is second to none. To endure a tough ask and to remain there, they do have to toil meticulously week in and week out and to ensure the same, they would need a fine balance between quality and quantity. The summer transfer window will offer a gateway to bag their prospective targets and one of the latest reports have stated that the former Norwich City manager is interested in luring Liverpool’s Ryan Kent under his command.
Sent on loan to Barnsley, Kent has been in a fine nick throughout the campaign as he quickly cemented his spot under the tactical nous of Paul Heckingbottom. Predominantly a winger, the 20-year-old has featured in 42 outings in the Championship and has banged 3 goals and registered 1 assist and has really impressed with the handsome adaptability of plying his trade anywhere in the midfield sector.
Nonetheless, Liverpool are a team with huge ambitions now and finding a starting spot under Jurgen Klopp would be an uphill task for the youngster and this is where Brighton & Hove Albion enter into the equation.
Kent is a player who is relatively unafraid of whatever is put ahead of him. A blossoming prospect of English football who has a fine attribute of putting quality balls into the box, the Englishman thrives easily, owing to his darting runs into the final third, ability to pass the ball around in a shrewd manner, getting into the tight areas and the fact that he comes out as a shining element more often than not.
At this stage of his career, he should be getting regular game time and this should seemingly be the impetus if the deal does manage to cross the line.
