Brighton midfielder linked with shock European switch

Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Matt O'Riley could be set for a deadline day move to Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

Journalist Graeme Bailey has reported that the two clubs are in talks regarding a season-long loan move.

"Turkish giants Fenerbahce are in talks with Brighton over a loan deal for Danish international Matt O'Riley.

"The 25-year-old spent much of last season on-loan at Marseille.

"Fener are proposing a loan with an obligation."

The Denmark international joined Brighton from Celtic ahead of the 2024/25 season following an impressive spell in Scotland.

After a campaign in which he scored 19 goals for Celtic, O'Riley struggled to establish himself on the south coast as he found the net just twice in 21 appearances.

He was loaned out to Marseille for the first half of last season but he returned to Brighton at the end of January.

O'Riley has been unable to force his way into manager Fabian Hurzeler's plans on a regular basis and a temporary move to Turkey is now on the cards.
