Brighton and Hove Albion manager Fabian Hurzeler has detailed the kind of player that they’re looking to sign this summer, insisting it goes beyond their attributes on the pitch. Sky Germany have an interview with the Brighton boss today. He discusses transfers, summer signing Luka Vuskovic and the German national team. Busy summer It’s been a busy summer of incomings and departures for Brighton this summer already. Key players Danny Welbeck and Jan Paul van Hecke have departed, while the likes of Pascal Struijk and Vuskovic have arrived in big-money deals. Both of those will be tasked with replacing Van Hecke in the heart of Brighton’s defence. That in itself is a big task given the impression the Dutchman made during his time with the Seagulls. But Hurzeler insists there’s more to it than ability on the pitch. “(We want) players who fit our identity very well,” he said. “Players who want to control a game, who are very, very good with the ball at their feet, who always manage to find solutions, who have a super mentality. “I think that’s also a very, very important point, that we a not only scout the player, but also the right person. Luka Vuskovic profile The arrival of Luka Vuskovic from Tottenham is particularly intriguing. He comes following an impressive loan spell at HSV Hamburg, where he was the breakout star of the Bundesliga last season. Reports have linked the 19-year-old with some of the biggest clubs around Europe as a result. Instead, he has joined Brighton, a club famed for their ability to develop top talent in recent years. Hurzeler, though, insists he was a signing done for more than natural talent alone. “He (Vuskovic) is a player who always works hard,” he added. “He is a player who wants to improve every day, who is already very, very mature despite his age and who brings this mentality to always want to get better. And of course, the colleagues from HSV have spoken and that gives you naturally a good feeling.” Im exklusiven Sky Sport Interview hat sich Fabian Hürzeler unter anderem zu Brighton, Jürgen Klopp sowie den Vuskovic-Brüdern geäußert. ➡️ Das ganze Interview findet ihr auf https://t.co/8YKd4tUQxr oder in der Sky Sport App pic.twitter.com/c1Mz7SLXmX — Sky Sport (@SkySportDE) August 6, 2026
