2023 was the year of complete turning point for Arthur Vermeeren. After being thrown to the lions by Mark van Bommel at the end of 2022, he has become a trendsetter in Antwerp over the past year. In recent months the 18-year-old has also risen to prominence in the Champions League and has become a Red Devil. As a result, he gradually appears to be completely wild.
It seems that there is a good chance that the battle for his signature will even begin in January. Antwerp would prefer to keep their golden boy until the end of the season, but will also be open to a winter transfer where they can still rent Vermeeren in the coming months. And if there really was an offer you couldn’t refuse, maybe they’d let him go right away.
Brighton are also thinking about Vermeeren
In recent weeks, the rumors have been heating up. Several English superpowers were proposed, such as Arsenal and Manchester United. There are also rumors that Tottenham are preparing a bid. But they might be topped by a surprising option.
From Daily email writes that Brighton are also seriously considering Vermeeren’s winter transfer. The Seagulls are still on the hunt for a midfielder following the departure of Moises Caicedo to Chelsea in the summer. They then signed Carlos Baleba from Lille, but the young Cameroonian is still a little too light to fill that big void.
The transfer fee doesn’t seem to be an issue
And so Brighton finds itself with Vermeeren, who despite his very young age has already shown more on the international scene than Baleba. The financial picture also does not appear to be a problem for Brighton. With the sale of Caicedo, Robert Sanchez and Alexis Mac Allister collected almost €200 million in the summer, so a €30 million transfer for Vermeeren seems possible.
Perhaps Brighton could be a smart move for Vermeeren. He will finish in the sub-top of the Premier League, but will be under less scrutiny than the absolute best players. Furthermore, Brighton is known as a team that plays very attractive football and its qualities could be further highlighted.
