According to Africafoot, Imrân Louza is close to joining the Premier League, and Brighton & Hove Albion are in the lead to sign the Moroccan international. The report states that Brighton scouts attended Watford's last Championship match, which it says confirms the club's intention to recruit Louza this winter. Africafoot also reports that Brighton has already made an initial offer of around 4 million euros for the player. According to the report, negotiations are ongoing and could be concluded in the coming days.

Brighton, Everton, Brentford, and Fulham are four Premier League clubs tracking Watford's Moroccan international midfielder, Imran Louza. The clubs have been assessing the 26-year-old Watford captain in recent weeks and have been very impressed. Louza, who joined Watford in July 2021 and has 14 caps for his country, has registered six goals and six assists in 20 league appearances this season. Watford want to keep their captain, who has two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract, but may find it difficult to retain him in January. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €10 million. His initial transfer from Nantes to Watford in July 2021 was for a fee of €10 million. A report in July 2025 estimated his worth at approximately £12 million, and discussions with another club in August 2025 were reportedly centered on a fee of €6 million.
