Brighton’s £50m Greek Sensations Still Waiting in the Wings – Debut Date Edges Closer


Brighton & Hove Albion are yet to unleash their exciting new £50 million Greek attacking duo, Stefanos Tzimas and Charalampos Kostoulas, during pre-season action.

The teenage pair, signed for a combined fee of around £52 million Tzimas from FC Nürnberg for £22 million and Kostoulas from Olympiacos for a reported £30 million have yet to make an appearance in any of Albion’s friendly matches this summer.

So far, the Seagulls have picked up convincing wins against Wycombe Wanderers (6-1) and Stoke City (3-1), but fans hoping to catch a glimpse of their new frontline will need to wait a bit longer.

As Brighton prepare to face Spanish side Las Palmas tonight on the Costa Del Sol, both Tzimas and Kostoulas remain sidelined, continuing individualised fitness programs aimed at aligning them with the club’s physical and tactical expectations.

Manager Fabian Hürzeler is taking a patient approach, aiming to fully integrate the youngsters into Brighton’s demanding training setup.

A debut in the friendly at Southampton’s St Mary’s on August 2 now looks like a more likely target, followed by another pre-season clash against Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg on August 9.

With the Premier League opener against Fulham set for August 16, Brighton fans could soon see the club’s big-money Greek signings in competitive action.

According to Hürzeler, both players are showing excellent work ethic and determination, and are focused on hitting the standards required in their new environment.
