Olivier Boscagli transfer news: Boscagli joins Brighton & Hove Albion from PSV
Boscagli completes Brighton switch
PSV defender Olivier Boscagli has joined Brighton & Hove Albion, the Premier League club have announced.
The 24-year-old centre-back has signed a four-year contract with the Seagulls, with the option of a further year.
Boscagli's career so far
Boscagli began his career with Montpellier in France, before moving to PSV in 2019.
He has made over 100 appearances for the Dutch club, winning the Eredivisie title in 2018-19.
Boscagli has also been capped by France at youth level.
What Brighton are getting in Boscagli
Boscagli is a versatile defender who can play at centre-back or left-back.
He is a good passer of the ball and is comfortable in possession.
Boscagli is also a strong tackler and is good in the air.
Why Brighton have signed Boscagli
Brighton have signed Boscagli to provide cover for Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy.
The Seagulls have been short of options at centre-back in recent months, with Dunk and Duffy both struggling with injuries.
Boscagli's arrival will give Brighton manager Graham Potter more options in defence.
What the future holds for Boscagli
Boscagli will be hoping to establish himself as a regular in the Brighton team.
He will face competition for places from Dunk and Duffy, but he has the ability to become a valuable asset to the Seagulls.
