Brighton have already made moves in this summer transfer window as they look to establish themselves as a Premier League club after a successful debut season. They have already brought in Nigerian defender Leon Balogun and have now added another striker to their ranks in Florin And one, for a fee of £6 million.
This is seemingly a bargain for the south coast club who have taken advantage of the relegation release clause in his contract and snapped him up. His release clause if Deportivo La Coruna remained in the Premier League was around £30 million and Brighton have acted quickly to make sure they are first in the queue for his signature.
Now aged just 25, Andone began his career as an 18-year-old with Castellon before moving through to Villarreal C and then onto Cordoba where he made his name. 26 goals in 56 games in the Spanish Segunda was enough to fire his side to the play-offs where they, unfortunately, missed out.
Deportivo La Coruna snapped up the potential star for €4.7 million plus 30% from a potential future transfer fee which was a big purchase for the La Liga minnows. The Romanian international hit 19 goals in 65 for Deportivo but that wasn’t enough to keep them in La Liga as he moved on to the Premier League.
Known for his hard work and impressive movement the 25-year-old should be big hit with Seagulls who will be looking forward to seeing him at the AMEX next season. Goals come with confidence for this man but this is a huge opportunity that he will be desperate to grab.
