Celtic midfielder Matt O'Riley has completed a £25million move to the Premier League side, with the 23-year-old Denmark international joining after Atalanta and Atletico Madrid both saw big-money moves go nowhere
The 23-year-old Denmark midfielder joins Albion for an initial fee of £25million, having held out for a Premier League move during a summer where both Italian side Atalanta and Spanish giants Atletico Madrid came calling.
Brighton boss Hurzeler said: “He plays a very specialist position. He is very good at occupying and attacking the right space and likes making deep runs, knowing when to attack at the right time. Despite always looking destined to leave Glasgow this summer, O’Riley admitted that leaving Celtic was not an easy task.
“It’s a very unique place just in terms of the passion the fans had, something I had never experienced before. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. It is still a little bit emotional speaking about it because I had such good memories there, but it just felt like the right time for a new challenge for me. But I only leave with fond memories.
