Brighton should pay attention to old employee – Free recommendation could come good

Former Brighton scout Bert Konterman has suggested Premier League clubs, including Brighton, should look to sign midfielder Daouda Weidmann. Speaking on the Dutch programme De Oosttribune, Konterman praised the 23-year-old FC Twente player as an appealing, intelligent prospect who is capable of handling the physical and tactical demands of English football.

While highly rated 18-year-old Feyenoord defender Ruud Nijstad has attracted interest from Chelsea and Barcelona, Konterman argued Nijstad's form fluctuates too much. Instead, writer Sean Lunt highlights that Konterman views Weidmann as a more ready permanent transfer option for English clubs following his standout performances in the Eredivisie.
