Brighton post huge losses of more than £53MILLION for the Covid-hit 2020-2021 season, as chief executive Paul Barber blames the pandemic for 'roughly half' of the enormous figure

Brighton recorded losses of £53.4million for the 2020-21 season, new figures have revealed.

The Premier League club played all but three of their competitive home games behind closed doors during the campaign due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Albion's accounts show a £13.8m reduction in losses from the £67.2m deficit of the previous season.

Turnover increased from £132.9m to £151.6m when compared to 2019-20, a rise of 13.4 per cent, while the figures do not include the transfer of Ben White to Arsenal, which was worth a reported £50m but concluded after the end date for these accounts.
