Sam Adekugbe Loaned to Brighton and Hove Albion FC

With new additions to the Vancouver Whitecaps backline, it was clear young left back Sam Adekugbe was going to be pushed further down the depth chart. Now, in a big to get the 21 year old some meaningful minutes, the club has announced he's been loaned to Brighton and Hove Albion FC in the second-tier Football League Championship. Every year the league champions are promoted to the Premier League, and Brighton actually came pretty close to making it this past season, finishing third. The club is based in East Sussex, in South England.

To be honest, it's a little disappointing to see.
