Brighton Round-Up, Saturday 7th November: Liverpool Reportedly Eyeing Verbruggen as Focus Turns to Brentford Clash
There's a buzz of transfer talk this evening, with reports suggesting Liverpool are considering a summer move for Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, amid claims of "concerns" over their current number one (Football365). It's only speculation at this stage, but the fact a club of Liverpool's stature are said to be casting an eye over the Dutch stopper says plenty about how highly he's rated at the Amex (Football365).
Attention on the pitch now turns to Sunday's Premier League clash with Brentford. Sports Mole have rounded up the latest injury and suspension picture ahead of the game, with both sides working out their best available options (Sports Mole). On the Albion side, boss Hurzeler is hopeful that Chema will be back in contention to face the Bees, which would be a welcome boost ahead of the weekend (BrightonAndHoveAlbion.com).
In the build-up, Hurzeler faced the media for his pre-match press conference, previewing the test that awaits against Brentford (BrightonAndHoveAlbion.com). The Argus also brings news on the officials, with Michael Oliver taking charge at the Amex - his return comes after the Northumberland-based referee showed red cards in each of his last two outings, so Brighton and Brentford will hope for a cleaner, more straightforward afternoon under his whistle (The Argus).
