Hughton insists Brighton buying not over

Brighton boss Chris Hughton says he's eager to continue to add to his squad.

The former Newcastle, Birmingham and Norwich manager would like to strengthen his squad further but does not expect to exceed the reported £13.5million fee paid to Club Brugge for Jose Izquierdo.

"We are still trying to bring in, if we can," he said.

"We're all appreciative at this club that we have a chairman and an owner that's prepared to break those club transfer records, already three times this season.

"I know that comes with the territory because we are now not only in the Premier League but in a market that's jumped dramatically this summer.

"But you still have to have a chairman that is prepared to do that.

"I probably don't expect it (breaking the transfer record again), but I would like to think we might do some more business before the window."
