Brighton looking to pull off huge transfer coup by signing World Cup winner: report

With hopes high for the new season, Albion could be about to bring in an experienced addition that would help bolster their backline. The German international would bring a wealth of know-how having even played in the UEFA Champions League final.

 

 

According to reports from Sky Germany, Brighton have made an official attempt to bring former Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels to the club. The German international is still considering his options and is yet to rule out retiring from the game altogether this summer.

 

Fellow Premier League outfit West Ham United are also said to be interested in Hummels who played a whopping 40 times for Dortmund last season. He scored four goals and played every minute of their UEFA Champions League campaign which eventually ended in a final defeat against Real Madrid.

“I have no idea what will happen to me in July,” said Hummels earlier this year. “I like the situation, but it also feels a bit strange. It feels strange not knowing. Everything will be decided in the next few weeks. Today the disappointment of losing the final outweighs everything.”
