Brighton is interested in signing 24-year-old Sunderland and Northern Ireland international full-back Trai Hume, who is also being monitored by Crystal Palace. Hume could cost around £30 million, a fee that might be expensive for Brighton. The club, which is currently competing for European qualification, also needs to improve other areas of its squad. Sunderland is under no pressure to sell the player as he has a contract until 2030, so Brighton would need to present an attractive offer to complete any deal in the upcoming weeks. The defender, who joined Sunderland in January 2022, has 29 caps and one goal for his country. His current market value is €22.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
