Brighton Closing in on Club Record Deal to Sign Bristol City Star Adam Webster

Brighton are closing in on a club record £20m deal for Bristol City defender Adam Webster, with negotiations ongoing between the two sides.

The 24-year-old centre back played 47 times across competitions for the Championship side last season, after joining from Ipswich Town in the previous summer for £3.8m.

As reported by BBC Sport, though no deal has been agreed yet, the Seagulls are confident that one can be reached, in what would become the club's new transfer record, with said £20m fee eclipsing the £17m they paid AZ Alkmaar for Alireza Jahanbakhsh back in 2017.
