Brighton reach verbal agreement to sign Young Boys defender Hadjam

According to Foot Mercato, the 23-year-old is set to leave Switzerland after establishing himself as an important player for Young Boys.

Hadjam began his development with Paris Saint-Germain and Creteil before making his professional debut at Paris FC in 2018. He joined Nantes in 2023 before moving to Young Boys a year later.

Despite suffering a syndesmotic ligament injury last January, Hadjam made 30 appearances last season, contributing two goals and four assists.

The Algeria international, who has 21 caps, also featured in three of his country’s four matches at this summer’s World Cup.
