Brighton and Hove Albion have confirmed the signing
of Simon Adingra from Danish club Nordsjaelland on a four-year deal.
Adingra, 20, joins in a deal worth around £6 million
and has impressed for Nordsjaelland since joining the club in 2020.
Brighton technical director David Weir said: “We’re delighted to welcome Simon to the club. He’s an exciting young player who has had a terrific start to his career in Denmark.
“He’s a creative offensive player who can play on both sides and is very good in one-on-one situations.
“He’s a talented young player who we’ve had an eye on for a while, and we’re looking forward to helping him with his development.”
Adingra made 38 appearances for the Nordsjaelland
first-team in the league, scoring 11 goals, including one on his debut from the
bench.
A product of Ghana’s famous Right To Dream Academy,
Adingra can operate as a winger on either the left or right-hand side of the
attack.
His arrival comes after Brighton secured the signing
of Paraguay striker Julio Enciso from Libertad.
Brighton face a trip to Manchester United for their
opening game of the 2022-23 Premier League season on 7 June.
