Brighton Make £123m Record Profit After Best Premier League Season

Premier League club, Brighton and Hove Albion have announced a record profit of £122.8 million in the 2023/24 financial year, which was the most successful season in the club’s history.

The Seaguils finished 6th in the 2023–24 Premier League season, reached the FA Cup semi-finals, and earned immensely from transfer fees for several key players, such as Moises Caicedo and Robert Sanchez to Chelsea, Alexis Mac Allister to Liverpool, amongst others.

An overview of the club’s financial records shows that profit after tax increased annually by almost £100m from £24.1m, with turnover going up by 17.2% to a record £204.5m.

The figures can help make “significant progress” on the pitch, the club said.

“These accounts will of course catch the eye because of the headline number,” Brighton chief executive Paul Barber said.

“In a season when we made history on the pitch, we took a huge step forward in terms of the club’s long-held aim of becoming more sustainable and less reliant on [Brighton owner] Tony Bloom’s incredibly generous levels of investment.”

Brighton owner Tony Bloom took over the club in 2009, when they were playing in League One.

Barber added that Brighton have made a “substantial repayment” to Bloom for the first time.

This means the club reduced the balance on Bloom’s interest-free loan, given in 2007, to £373.3m from £406.5m.

Brighton’s record figures come at a time when several of their Premier League rivals, such as Nottingham Forest, Everton, and Championship side Leicester City, are facing sanctions for breaching rules by incurring heavy financial losses.

Chelsea are set to sanction their first summer transfer under their new manager, Xabi Alonso.

According to the BBC Sport, the Blues are ‘open’ to selling Filip Jorgensen this summer after the goalkeeper indicated his desire to leave Stamford Bridge.

Jorgensen joined the Premier League west London club two seasons ago from Villarreal.

The 24-year-old shot-stopper was expected to compete for the number one position with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, but he made just 11 Premier League appearances over the two seasons.

However, while the arrival of Alonso to Stamford Bridge could lead to a change in fortunes for Jorgensen, the report added that the Danish star has already expressed his desire to leave Chelsea this summer to get more regular playing game-time elsewhere.

Chelsea had blocked a potential exit for Jorgensen in the January transfer window, but the Premier League west London club are now open to a sale, with European and English clubs expected to explore a deal for the goalkeeper.

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

Merson wants Arsenal to sign Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez and a new midfielder.

“I would get a centre forward this summer, I would go for Julian Alvarez,” Merson said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.

“I am a big fan. If they could get him, I would. I still think they probably need another midfield player as well.”

Arsenal is expected to bolster its squad in the summer after winning the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City this season.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
