Transfer Deadline Day: How Premier League Clubs Are Shaping Up for the Season Ahead
The Premier League season is underway, and teams are making last-minute moves to strengthen their squads. With the transfer window set to close soon, clubs are scrambling to get their deals done.
One of the biggest moves of the summer transfer window is Brighton’s signing of Leeds forward Georginio Rutter. The France Under-21 international has agreed a five-year contract with the Seagulls in a deal worth a reported club record £40 million ($51 million). Rutter impressed in the Championship last season, scoring eight goals and contributing 16 assists.

Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler is excited about the prospect of working with Rutter. ‘Georginio is a player who has the capabilities to get fans off their seats and really showed what he can do in English football with Leeds last season,’ he said.
But Brighton are not the only team making moves. Chelsea striker Armando Broja is set to join Ipswich Town on loan until the end of the season. The loan deal includes an obligation to sign the player for a fee in the region of £30 million ($39.1 million) if Ipswich avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Broja, 22, will bolster Ipswich’s attacking options as they play in the top flight for the first time in 22 years. He came through Chelsea’s academy and has made 38 appearances for the first team. He’s had spells on loan away from the club, including time at Southampton, while he spent the second half of last season at Fulham.
These moves are just the latest in a busy transfer window. With the season already underway, teams are looking to make the most of the remaining time to strengthen their squads.
