Kacper Kozlowski, a Polish international midfielder, has joined Turkish Superlig team Gaziantep FK on a permanent basis after leaving Brighton & Hove Albion and the Premier League.
The 20-year-old signed Albion from Pogon Szczecin in January 2022 for about £8 million, having made six senior appearances for his country.
Kozlowski has spent the last two seasons on loan at Vitesse Arnhem in the Netherlands, but has never appeared for the Albion first team.
He had two years left on his Brighton contract but has opted to move permanently to Gaziantep, who finished 11th in the Super Lig last season.
According to technical director David Weir, “We wish Kacper all the best for the future.”
The Seagulls have had a disappointing start to the summer window, with five players signing for an estimated £80 million. So far, Ibrahim Osman has joined from FC Nordsjaelland, Yankuba Minteh from Newcastle United, Mats Wieffer from Feyenoord, Amario Cozier-Durberry from Arsenal, and Malick Yalcouye from IFK Goteborg. Brighton’s preseason trip to Japan begins next week, with games against Kashima Antlers on July 24 and Tokyo Verdy on July 28.
Probable squad: Goalkeepers: Jason Steele, Carl Rushworth, Hugo Fisher Killian Cahill.
Defenders include Tariq Lamptey, Odel Offiah, Igor, Adam Webster, Jan Paul Van Hecke, Joel Veltman, Valentin Barco, and Imari Samuels.
Midfielders include James Milner, Billy Gilmour, Carlos Baleba, Yasin Ayari, Mats Wieffer, Andy Moran, Jensen Weir, Jack Hinshelwood, Malick Yalcouye, Facundo Buonanotte, Kaoru Mitoma, and Jeremy Sarmiento.
