Brighton Signs Jaouen Hadjam: Implications for Maxim De Cuyper in FPL

Brighton and Hove Albion has completed the signing of left-back Jaouen Hadjam for around £10 million. The 23-year-old, who previously played for Young Boys in Switzerland, is expected to fit well into Brighton's playing style as an attacking full-back.

Hadjam has a history of contributing offensively, with two league goals and seven assists during his last full season. However, his defensive contributions have been modest, and it remains uncertain whether he will be an immediate starter. Current Brighton left-back Ferdi Kadioglu, who has been linked with a transfer, started every match from Gameweek 5 last season but missed the opening game this season due to injury.

The signing of Hadjam could indicate various scenarios for De Cuyper, who may be utilized as a long-term left-wing option or could see Kadioglu shift to right-back. The situation will depend on Kadioglu's status as the transfer window closes.
