Brighton’s predicted best XI with Mats Wieffer

Brighton are set to sign Feyenoord midfielder Mats Wieffer. The 24-year-old was one of the best young players in the Eredivisie and has the potential to be one of Premier League’s best midfielders. For Brighton, Wieffer gives the Seagulls physicality in their midfield that they severely missed last season after selling Moises Caicedo. He was second in the league for blocks and in the top ten for interceptions, tackles, and dribblers tackled. Wieffer’s passing ability is also very impressive. He ranked in the top ten for passes into the final third, progressive passes, and for a number of other passing metrics. This was mostly due to Arne Slot’s system, but Wieffer was key to that system, so I can’t knock him too much. Here’s how new Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler’s system coul...

The Seagulls were clearly watching that side closely as they have now been linked to another top star from Arne Slot’s former team. According to 1908.nl, Brighton have made Feyenoord’s Mats Wieffer one of their top transfer targets. The Seagulls have already had a bid rejected. However, they are expected to make another push to sign him soon. Wieffer started 29 matches in the Eredivisie for Feyenoord last season and was one of the brightest young players in the entire division. Playing as a double-pivot in a 4-2-3-1 or as a roaming No. 8 in a 4-3-3, Wieffer was at the center of everything Feyenoord did last season. The 24-year-o...
