Brighton and Hove Albion have been looking forward to making a strong start to their Premier League for this first time in their history. They are looking to make it as memorable as possible and they are well aware of the fact that they will need experienced enough players to challenge the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and defending champions Chelsea.
The Seagulls have been eyeing a number of players who have good experience in top flight football from all over Europe and are currently interested in signing the Benin international Stéphane Sessegnon from the French Ligue 1 club Montpellier. They are quite sure that the attacking midfielder, who has a very impressive career in French as well as English football, can make a good contribution to the team in order to get them in a comfortable position in the next Premier League season.
The 33-year-old player has been one of the most experienced campaigners in French football, having played for an array of clubs including the likes of Paris Saint Germain, FC Le Mans and HSC Montpellier. His career is backed up by a number of appearances for teams like Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion in English club football as well.
The midfielder has played 105 matches for the French Ligue 1 heavyweights Paris Saint Germain and has also played a significant number of matches for Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion. The Seagulls are sure that these experiences will count for them in case the Benin international signs for them in the next term and will allow them to have depth in the attacking front.
The player might be looking forward to making a move to the Premier League as well, with his current contract with Montpellier expiring after the next season. There is a good possibility that the veteran striker might not get a contract extension in the next season. This might irk interests among a number of clubs in the Premier League as well as the Championship to bid for the experienced campaigner to be a part of their side in the summer transfer window.
The 33-year-old is also poised to make a move to the Far East, with a number of clubs from the Chinese Super League looking to make a bid for the player in the summer. However, in case Brighton can get their hands on the veteran attacker, he can be a very valuable addition to their roster for the next season.
