Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi has declared Deniz Undav is returning to the club this summer.

Undav is on-loan at VfB Stttgart, where his form this season has seen him break into the Germany squad.

"Deniz Undav is coming back," The Athletic quotes De Zerbi as saying today.

For his part, Undav has made it clear he wants to remain with VfB and preferably as a permanent transfer.

However, his purchase option of €40m is out of reach of the Bundesliga club.
