Another one to add to the mix?

Only been there a season, so not like he worked with RDZ, but ex-Brighton gets people excited...

and he is ex Woolwich - Vinai will love that!


EDIT

Jason Ayto has left Brighton & Hove Albion after just nine months as sporting director.
Ayto became the club’s first sporting director in September 2025 in a revamp of senior roles. The 41-year-old replaced technical director David Weir, who now holds that position at Strasbourg.
Ayto previously worked at Woolwich for over a decade in a variety of positions, including assistant technical director and interim sporting director.
Brighton chairman Tony Bloom said in a statement on Wednesday: “I’d like to thank Jason for everything he has done for us, and to wish him well for the future.”

Ayto was due to oversee his first summer transfer window, working with Mike Cave on Brighton’s transfer business. Cave was promoted from assistant technical director to technical director when Weir left and Ayto arrived.
Cave will oversee all sporting areas of the club, working with the existing senior team and reporting to chief executive Paul Barber. The summer window opens on June 15.
Ayto left Woolwich last summer after 11 years at the club, having previously worked as a scout, and subsequently the north London club’s chief scout.
The Athletic reported that Ayto had been a strong contender for the permanent position at Woolwich, but former Atletico Madrid executive Andrea Berta was ultimately appointed in the role.

"I’d like to thank Jason for everything he has done for us, and to wish him well for the future." - never a great endorsement when its a one liner

Mine is debate, not to know for certain.

I think we have seen after 2 seasons that Solanke is unlikely (not definitely) to be the answer. Lankshear - we will see if he shows enough in pre-season to maybe convince De Zerbi.

I think we need a mobile striker, so that would be someone like Nunez or type, and I think we need a poacher, which one might argue Richarlison is, but one who can offer a bit more on top.

I'm not saying it's easy to get the right striker (s), let alone to identify those who might be suitable, and there would be no point in selling Solanke without being pretty confident in any new signing, but we have to try and find strikers who the opposition fear, and who can justify that sense of trepidation.
