Brighton close in on Noel Bigo Atom
Brighton look set to bring in yet another high potential youngster, beating Tottenham to the signature of this young German.
Atom is a former Germany under-17 international who departed RB Leipzig for free this summer.
He is yet to find a club but if journalist Lorenzo Lepore is to be believed, he is about to.
He says the 18-year-old will ‘sign soon’ after they ‘hijacked the deal’ that Tottenham had previously arranged.
The youngster fits directly into the ethos at Brighton that they are attempting to implement across the club.
Their transfer policy has worked incredibly well to date, so it isn’t surprising they’ve continued on this route.
He won’t be a first team player for a while, but his potential is amazing so definitely one for the future.
