The Brighton project on the south cast received a huge shot in the arm after the club continues to bid farewell to key pieces recently after a fantastic 4-1 win against former boss Graham Potter when Chelsea was sent packing back to the capital last weekend and will head north to clash with struggling Wolves at the Molineux on Saturday.
It was just the result that new boss Roberto De Zerbi needed to kick start the new regime at the American Express Community Stadium as the club continues to receive recognition for its progression on and off the pitch of late, while star man Leandro Trossard was recently nominated for Premier League Player of the Month for October.

The club also sealed a deal for young Argentine talent Facundo Buonanotte, continuing their trend of prizing talent from South America for very affordable fees as a core nucleus continues to be assembled.
With Facundo Buonanotte, Brighton & Hove Albion continue to branch into South America to recruit young talent. Moisés Caicedo alone is worth at least twice their total investment in the continent already. Interesting that they’ve yet to dip into the abundant Brazilian market. pic.twitter.com/7XaCco5r2x

With the Seagulls now back in the win column after a run of fixtures that saw them without a win since De Zerbi’s appointment, there is no better time for them to take on a Wolves outfit that has scored just 6 goals in the league, constituting the worst offensive record in the top flight of English football.
