Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler says he expects Matt O'Riley to "positively impact the team" after the midfielder returned from his loan spell at Marseille.

Denmark international O'Riley played 25 times for the French club this season.

Hurzeler said: "We're pleased to welcome Matt back to the club. We know all about his qualities, and I have no doubt he will settle back into the group very quickly.

"He's had a good spell with Marseille, playing regular domestic football and in the Champions League, and we believe he can positively impact the team in the second half of the season."

The 25-year-old joined Albion from Celtic in August 2024, making 23 appearances in his first season with the club.

He made two Premier League appearances for them at the start of this season, scoring from the penalty spot in the 1-1 draw with Fulham on the opening day.

Brighton playmaker Brajan Gruda has joined RB Leipzig on loan until the end of the season.

Gruda, who joined Albion in 2024 from Mainz, has made 45 appearances, scoring four goals and contributing eight assists.

Head coach Fabian Hurzeler said: "Brajan wants regular football, and we are not able to guarantee him that in the second half of the season, so this loan represents a good move for all parties.

"This move gives him that opportunity and a chance to continue his development. We wish him well for the remainder of the season."

We asked you what still needs to happen before the transfer window closes at 19:00 GMT on Monday.

Here are some of your comments:

Fran: Have said for months that we need a clinical goalscorer - one who puts away the easy chances we are currently missing. We keep getting defenders when we don't need them. Other teams get them so they are out there. You can't keep getting potential at this level to succeed.

Jon: We are lacking cover at right-back, as Hurzeler doesn't seem to fancy Veltman. Hate to say, but I think the main change has to be the manager as he is costing us points every week.

Jerry: We desperately need more striking power. We create lots of chances, but need someone who can convert the chances into goals.

Martin: We need a replacement for Joao Pedro - difficult but essential if we want to be in Europe. Bring back Ferguson as extra firepower.

Finn: I am writing this after the Everton game and I think we need a 27 or 28-year-old striker or someone who we know can score in the Premier League.

Barney: Sack Hurzeler. We have been so incompetent, sloppy and inconsistent under him - and he now makes the stadium look like a library. We play playground football and he keeps blaming it on luck.

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler says forward Tommy Watson's loan move to Millwall will "really benefit his development".

Watson arrived at Amex Stadium from Sunderland in the summer - after scoring the winning goal for the Black Cats in the Championship play-off final - and has made 10 appearances this season.

"Tommy's settled in well, but has had a frustrating time with injuries, but he's now fit and keen to play, and this gives him the opportunity," said Hurzeler.

"He is an exciting young player, and he now has the chance to help Millwall with their Premier League promotion push.

"The move will really benefit his development. It'll give him significant game time and allow him to build on an outstanding breakthrough season with Sunderland last season, when he was integral in their promotion.

"We wish him well for the second half of the season and look forward to welcoming him back in the summer."

Brighton midfielder Bex Rayner has signed a new contract with the Women's Super League club.

Rayner, 26, has made 10 appearances for the Seagulls since making her debut in December 2024.

"Bex has had a challenging time since joining the club because of injury but her dedication and resilience throughout that period have been clear," said Brighton's women's and girls' managing director Zoe Johnson.

"She's a technically gifted player on the pitch and her character and professionalism off the pitch are a real asset to the squad.

"She's worked hard following her injury to make sure she can contribute to the second half of the season. We're excited to see what the future holds for her with us, and we're delighted that Bex has committed her future to the club."

Brighton midfielder Pascal Gross says the Seagulls must be "smart" when managing games after conceding in added time for the second week in a row.

Following Fulham's 92nd-minute winner last weekend, Everton's Beto found a 97th-minute equaliser at Amex Stadium on Saturday to deny Fabian Hurzeler's side three points.

"Painful," Gross said post-match. "It's the second week in a row. For us, it's about the players putting in the last little bit of effort.

"Always things can happen in the Premier League with the quality because other teams push us on but you need 11 men behind the ball, play the game smart, and to do everything for the team to protect those three points.

"We know how hard it is to get those three points and with the effort we put in we deserved them probably but the Premier League is ruthless and I think we have to improve a lot faster from last week as it has happened again this week.

"We need to sit down and also speak about game management.

"You need to understand what time of the game it is and you can't play the same if it's the 10th minute or the last minute, or if we are 1-0 up or 1-0 down.

"There are certain ways you have to do it; you win one more throw, you take the pace out of the game, you need to play it smart.

"We need to grow fast. We have a lot of talent but we need to speak about it as players. We should all be good enough as a team to solve it on the pitch."
