Barcelona Star Ansui Fati Has Joined Brighton

Spain forward Ansu Fati has completed a season-long loan move to Premier League side Brighton from Barcelona.

Fati had fallen down the pecking order at Barcelona, who need to create space in their squad to sign Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo on loan.

Brighton’s deal for the 20-year-old does not include an obligation to buy.

Tottenham had also been linked with Fati, but he is understood to have been impressed by Brighton’s style of play under manager Roberto De Zerbi.

De Zerbi said:

“This is a great deal for all of us. I am sure Ansu will help us to reach a new target and we can help him get back to the level he deserves to be.”
