Tom Watson

In January 2026, multiple reports cited a current Transfermarkt market value of €10 million. The same reports consistently reference the fee Brighton paid for him, stated as both €12 million and £10 million (approx. €11.7m). The completed transfer from Sunderland to Brighton in July 2025 is officially listed at €12 million. Earlier, in February 2025, it was reported that Crystal Palace had an offer of an unspecified amount rejected by Sunderland.

Our valuation is driven by the concrete €12 million fee Brighton paid for Tom Watson in July 2025. While his subsequent loan to the Championship and a reported market value of €10 million suggest a slight dip, Brighton's explicit refusal to consider a permanent sale indicates they still value him at or near their initial investment, expecting his long-term potential to be realized.
