Brighton and Hove Albion could be set to swoop for West Ham United’s Robert Snodgrass according to a report from Football London.
The Seagulls finally achieved promotion to the Premier League after years of coming very close but are now working hard to add to their squad to make sure it isn’t a temporary stay. And one of the players they look like they might be signing is a Scottish international who only joined his club a few months ago.
Snodgrass was instrumental for Hull City as they got promoted via the play-offs last season and he continued their form when they were in the Premier League. However this got noticed by their rivals and he soon found himself on his way to West Ham in the January transfer window for a fee believed to be around £10m. However the move would not work out for either party as the 28-year-old struggled to break into the first team, mostly spending the second half of the season warming the bench.
This means that Snodgrass may be set to leave the London Stadium just a few months after moving there and Brighton are planning to swoop. They don’t seem willing to come anywhere near the fee that West Ham initially paid for the Scot, but it would give the Hammers a way to cut their losses on a player who hasn’t been the right fit for their squad. For Brighton, they would get a talented winger who has shown he can perform at this level.
