January transfer plans: BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION WANT 31 ASSISTS KING IN JANUARY WINDOW

BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION WISH TO BE MLS STARS LIKE LEEDS UNITED.

 

Leeds United failed to sign Philadelphia Union’s Kai Wagner and he could now be on his way to Brighton and Hove Albion in 2024.

Following Pervis Estupinan’s serious injury, Brighton and Hove Albion could make a move for Philadelphia Union ace Kai Wagner.

This is according to Sky Germany, who believe Wagner is attracting a lot of interest ahead of the January transfer season.

Wagner has long been regarded as one of the best left backs in Major League Soccer, with 31 assists in 168 games.

Wagner was nominated for MLS Defender of the Year in 2022 and will almost certainly leave the United States soon.

The German has long been linked with a return to Europe, and his opportunity may come during the January transfer window…

Brighton and Hove Albion want Kai Wagner

Sky Germany now claim that Wagner will not be extending his Philadelphia Union contract.

The 25-year-old’s current deal expires in December and it looks like he will now be leaving for nothing.

It’s claimed that Brighton and Hove Albion now fancy signing Wagner with Pervis Estupinan out of action.

The Ecuadorian left back is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines and Wagner could represent a low-cost replacement.

Europa League opponents AEK Athens as well as Serie A side Lecce are keen too, alongside Bundesliga clubs.

Wagner will be weighing up his options now but a move to the Amex Stadium will surely appeal.

Leeds United could see Wagner arrive in England

Wagner could finally move to England after missing out on a move to Leeds United in 2022.

The Whites were interested in landing Wagner as competition for Junior Firpo at left back during

In August of last year, Brotherly Game revealed that Jesse Marsch had spoken with Union chief Jim Curtin about bringing Wagner to Elland Road.

The rumors persisted for quite some time, dating back to the summer of 2022, when The Mail+ claimed Wagner was merely awaiting a call to join Leeds.

It never arrived, and Wagner is still in the United States, with Leeds now likely out of the running with Marsch’s departure and relegation from the Premier League.

Leeds appear to have squandered their opportunity, and Wagner may now join a Premier League club whose recruitment is frequently commended.
