Breaking: Napoli’s ‘Ridiculous’ Foul Leads To Stunning Gilmour Transfer Decision By Brighton
Billy Gilmour’s move to Napoli is believed to be off, Express Sport understands.
Brighton have decided to pull out of talks with the Serie A outfit due to their injury concerns in midfield.
A deal was never in place for the midfielder, and a recent injury sustained by new signing Matt O’Riley in midweek has prompted Brighton to have a change of heart in regards to the sale of the 23-year-old.
O’Riley, who arrived from Celtic earlier this week, made his debut for the Seagulls on Tuesday in their 4-0 victory over Crawley Town in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
However, his first appearance lasted just eight minutes after a late challenge from Jay Williams left the Denmark international unable to continue.
O’Riley has now undergone scans on the issue, but Brighton do not want to leave manager Fabian Hurzeler short of options in midfield and have called talks with Napoli for Gilmour off.
