Brighton's next star and squad rotation when injured players return

In a three-part Brighton Q&A on BBC Radio Sussex, Johnny Cantor discussed Charalampos Kostoulas’ prospects and how Fabian Hurzeler should manage squad rotation once injured players return. Asked whether Kostoulas can fulfill his potential at Albion, Cantor said the Greek signing is a serious talent despite not being the biggest player, highlighting his movement, touch, and especially his consistent eye for goal and desire to score. He noted a key question is whether Brighton remains his long-term home if larger clubs show interest. On Hurzeler, Cantor said injuries forced new solutions that worked, with Mitoma likely starting when fit, Hinshelwood moved effectively to a 10 role, and alternatives like de Cuyper and Diego Gomez producing results. Rotation is inevitable.
