Jose Izquierdo: Brighton sign Colombian winger in club-record deal



Brighton have broken their transfer record for the third time this summer after signing Colombian international Jose Izquierdo from Club Brugge.

The Premier League newcomers announced the reported £13.5m deal for the winger last week and have now confirmed they have been awarded a work permit.

Izquierdo, 25, scored 15 goals in the Belgian Pro League last term.

Boss Chris Hughton described Izquierdo as "one of the standout players" in Belgium over the past three years.

"Jose has good experience with almost 250 senior games in both Colombia and Belgium, and has played in the Europa League, Champions League and international football," he said.

Izquierdo won the Belgian Cup during his first season with Brugge in 2014-15, followed by the Belgian League title a year later - when he was named Belgium's Player of the Year.

His two international caps came in friendly matches against Cameroon and Spain in June.

Hughton's side broke their transfer record last Monday when they signed Dutch midfielder Davy Propper from PSV Eindhoven for around £6m.

They had already paid a reported £5m in June for Valencia's Australian goalkeeper Mathew Ryan.

Last week, Brighton also completed the signing of Soufyan Ahannach from Almere City.

The 21-year-old winger joins from the Dutch second tier club on a five-year deal, having scored 18 goals and provided 15 assists in 42 games last season.

Analysis

Johnny Cantor, BBC Sussex Sport

Albion's spending before their Premier League bow has been gradual and measured across the summer. Having secured the services of dependable Pascal Gross and Markus Suttner from the Bundesliga, chairman Tony Bloom is starting to back Chris Hughton with real cash.

Australian international Mathew Ryan fills a huge void after the departure of goalkeeper David Stockdale, Izzy Brown provides flexibility in attack after agreeing a season-long loan from Chelsea and now Davy Propper has been joined by Colombian international winger Jose Izquierdo.

That transfer record for Izquierdo could still be broken with the arrival of a much needed striker, or the club could opt for a high-profile loan signing.
