​After EIGHT summer signings Brighton still looking to strengthen

Brighton boss Chris Hughton says he will continue to look to boost his squad ahead of the start of the Premier League season.

Speaking after a 3-0 friendly victory over Crawley, Hughton said his club are having a successful summer transfer window but are always looking to recruit more.

"All we wanted to do, if we had the opportunity", said Hughton, "was to improve the squad, and that's something we will always do.

"It's not always easy, particularly with the value of players that they are at the moment.

"But, I think the fact that we've bought two in particular in very early in the summer, I think that relieves a little bit of pressure on the squad and on our recruitment process, and we'll continue to do that right up until the end of the window."
